Cyberpunk Neon Sign Controller Variant 26 Kit with ESP32
Animate Your Own Cyberpunk Neon Sign with This ESP32 EL Wire Controller Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Create pulsating, animated neon signs that react to sound or motion — perfect for art installations, cosplay props, or futuristic storefronts. This advanced kit puts four independent EL wire channels at your command, driven by an ESP32 microcontroller that you program for custom patterns, sequences, and even Wi-Fi control. Step into the world of high-voltage display art with confidence.
What You'll Build
A fully programmable, multi-channel neon sign controller capable of driving up to four separate EL wire strands independently. You'll assemble the MOSFET driver circuit on a prototype board, connect the high-voltage inverters, and enclose everything in a sturdy box. The final build lets you create dazzling light shows, from subtle glows to rapid sequential flashes, all tuned through your own Arduino IDE sketches.
What You'll Learn
- Design and build safe high-voltage switching circuits using MOSFETs and flyback diodes.
- Interface ESP32 with multiple output channels and program PWM-based brightness control.
- Handle EL wire inverter modules and understand their power requirements and safety margins.
- Troubleshoot EMI issues common in high-frequency switching near microcontrollers.

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for advanced makers and engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE) who already have experience with microcontrollers and soldering. It's ideal for final-year projects, Smart India Hackathon prototypes, or any tech-art installation that demands precise high-voltage control. If you're comfortable reading datasheets and debugging circuits under an oscilloscope, you'll thrive here.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to launch the AI companion with step-by-step instructions, plus WhatsApp backup for direct engineer support.
Can I synchronise the animation to music or external sensors?
Yes, the ESP32 has spare GPIOs and a built-in ADC. Connect a microphone module or PIR sensor, and our AI companion provides sample code for audio-reactive and motion-triggered patterns.
How do I protect the ESP32 from high-voltage noise?
The included 100Ω gate resistors and 1N4007 flyback diodes suppress inductive spikes. Proper grounding layout is covered in the guide, and the AI companion helps you trace any interference issues.
What if I want a larger display with longer EL wires?
Each inverter supports up to 2 metres. For longer runs, parallel multiple inverters on a channel. Our AI companion explains scaling safely.
