Hello all,
First of all I'm a complete newbie about circuits and electronics.
I recently bought a 3D printer and I saw this project on thingiverse.
Quick sum up : LEDs (WS2812) lamp controlled by an ESP8266.
The main issue is that the firmware of the ESP8266 provided to control the LEDs do not save configurations when powered off. I then thought of integrating a battery to keep the ESP powered even when the lamp is unplugged.
But i have about no idea of what I'm doing and before buying anymore hardware I'd like to have advices on how I could do that and what hardware I need.
I thought of a circuit like this :
but I have no idea if this will work at all. (Sorry for bad drawing skills I didn't know wher to draw a proper diagram)
Thanks for your help !
