1(Order PCB)
ZIp the gerber folder and order PCB from a online PCB fabrication services (e.g. Elecrow, FusionPCB, etc.)
- No. of layers: 2
- PCB DImentions: 28x56mm
- PCB Thickness: 1.0mm
- PCB Color: Choose as you like
Shipping fees may vary depends on where you live, of course. However the cost for PCB itself might not exceed 10 USD for 10 PCBs.

2Switch on your soldering iron, it's time to...
- U1: xc6206p332mr
- C1: 1uF
- U2: ESP-12F
- Push down the plastic part on the 2.54mm 1 x 8 pin header to not stick out from the back side of the PCB.
- J5: GY-521
- Pay extra attention to the terminals of the LiPo battery when you cut it. Don't short circuit it!
- Let's burn the firmware to ESP.
- Refer to https://github.com/likeablob/miniDenko/tree/master/pio
- Connect your USB-UART converter to the board as follows.
- J2 Pin definitiion
- V: 5V(LDO_IN)
- R: ESP_RESET: RST pin:
- B: ESP_BOOT: GPIO0 pin:
- G: GND
- T: ESP_TXD: TX pin:
- R: ESP_RXD: RX pin:
- Detach the LED Matrix from the board, and cut the L-type pin header by a nipper.
- FIx the battery and the LiPo charing board to the LED matrix by using a piece of double sided tape.
- Screw the holder (`minidenko-port-holder.stl`) from the reverse side of the LED matrix board.
- M2 x 6mm Self-tapping screw x 2
- Put the LED matrix back to the board.
- Then, Let's put it in the case.
- minidenko-case-body-opaque.stl for opaque filaments
- minidenko-case-body-transparent.stl for transparent filaments
- https://github.com/likeablob/miniDenko/tree/master/openscad
- Screw the lid by using 4 screws
- M1.2 x 5mm Self tapping screw x 4
- minidenko-case-backpanel-a.stl
- https://github.com/likeablob/miniDenko/tree/master/openscad
- Power on and let's see how it works!

3Connect your device with miniDenko
WIP
- Scan and connect to the AP named "miniDenko-xxxxx"(here xxxxx is a unique chip ID)
- Open http://192.168.1.5/ in a browser (Chrome recommended)
Here you can edit & submit new messages ( Try to tap the "Add" button)
- miniDenko internally has 3 "slots" for preserving messages. You can "tap" the device to switch the messages.
# To connect your miniDenko to another AP
- Tap ⚙️ and go to the setting tab
- Tap "Config" button next to "WiFi AP (Client)"
- Input your AP's credentials and tap "Save"
- Then you have to change the WiFI mode to "AP+STA",
- Tap "Config" button next to "WiFi Mode"
- Reboot your miniDenko to apply the settings.
- You can see miniDenko's IP at the "IP(Client)" badge.
