Learn here how to install the wLED binary, which means flashing your ESP32 microcontroller.

Make sure your power source is constant, which means use a uninterruptible power supply, UPS, at least while you are flashing!

Please do not brick your ESP32

This is een important word of warning from the wLED Creator

New setups should use the ESP32 not the dated ESP8266 because that micro controller reaches end of life / end of support soon. The ESP32 also has Bluetooth which The ESP8266 lacks.

Heed his Warning

Now you can learn how to do the wLED control on the Raspberry Pi5

So first start with my previous post then come to this one. Of course you understand why this logic is used; first learn to crawl then Sprint.

My SBC of choice is the Raspberry Pi5
I want to control wLED with it!

So i dug further and found this site, where you learn from scratch how to start with the ESP8266

Today I learned about an incredible project for the ESP32 project WLED! ✨

It's an implementation of a ESP32/ESP8266 webserver to control NeoPixel LEDs

Read all about it on the website.

Как сделать вывод на LED дисплей за один семинар с нуля

Тут пришло приглашение на семинар по освоению программирования RA8M1 . Предлагалось сделать четыре лабораторных работы и бесплатный обед с кофе-брейками. В заключении за труды получить очередную плату EK-RA8M1 . От такого не отказываются. Хороший повод найти применение плате MKR RGB Shield и дополнить копилку демо-проектов под RA8M1, решил я.

Working on an animation heavily inspired by an awesome artwork I recently saw by Andy Gilmore( https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpOrC3nrjlO ) I have a bunch of colour envelopes, each offset by half a colour steps of the previous, controlling the rolling motion of each circular ring. Rendering each pixel in each ring with its own color envelope & cycling through them to crrate this gorgeoues movement of light. Still very much a WIP #generativeart #pixelmapping #esp32 #sk9822 #apa102 #algorithmicart

Werkin on a new #ledmask figure I should start posting more #WIP here not just on my insta. This piece has 626 x #apa102 pixels driven by an #esp32 Ive modifed my animation lib to load the pixel map on boot from SPIFFS and directly map via pointers to save ram. Initilay this was to get it to work on the #esp8266 but because im using websockets for the config system, there just wasnt enough ram, so esp32 it is

Presenting the Anubis #ledmask this took about 24 hours over 4 days to complete from the reels of #apa102 pixels to this beast of a #wearable Its driven by an #esp32 & powered by a #usbcpd (15w) powerbank & has a dedicated wifi based #webui for animation config

WIP of one of my ultra popular #ledmask the Anubis ! 783 x #apa102 5050 pixels on 144ppm 10mm strip driven by an #esp32 using my very latest animation system & the latest interactive, appless #webapp to set up the animation que. Using the global brightness system, specialy utilised on the APA102 & #sk9822 chipsets, Im able to drive this from a standard 15w USBC powerbank. Most of the super bussy animations are dimmed (using GBB) whilst still giving a full blast experience.

Almost done with this #ledmask I need to add some blackout tape around the eyes, as there is way too much light seeping inside. Feels like a disco on my face #sk9822 #apa102 #esp8266

WIP: I have secured the matrix to the rear of the mask so the pixels backlight the forward wall. Have attached the headband with buckle straps & connected the controller to the headband. This has 216 x #sk9822 #apa102 pixels driven by the @espressif_systems_official #esp8266 I was a bit over eager on the pixel count, had to do some trimming & adjusting around the upper edges of the matrix. Next up, a soft piece of fabric for the back, neaten up the cables & set up my favourite que #ledmask

Pixels pixels & moar pixels! Slowly getting the backing matrix assembled. All the strips are soldered from the rear to save cable foldimg space around the edges of the mask. Using #sk9822 #apa102 5050 #ledstrip #pixels #ledmask #esp8266

This is my 3rd attempt at modelimg a mask in #fusion360 using #surface modeling. Took about 10 hours to print,its hollow with a 5mm air gap between the rear and front 1mm walls. Fits perfectly and is about to get all lit up! Ill be using #sk9822 #apa102 5050 pixels on 10mm wide 144ppm strip for the highest pixel count i can get on the inner surface

The Pixel Belt, in its almost finished form. I may add a longer elastic belt to accomodate larger than 34" waist. With this many modules if you have a very slim waist the modules will wrap around you completely. The #esp8266 based controller sits on the belt and backfeeds power via a second jst plug that conects into the other side of the belt #sk9822 #apa102 #ledwear #ledbelt #ledwear #festivalwear

More WIP of the Pixel Belt! The #prussa finaly finished printing all the diffusers & base caps. I spent some time cleaning the suports from the end caps and making sure they smoothly slide onto the 20mm elastic straps. I ended up on using 9 modules so there is a centre module and 4 on each side. Im a 34" waist and it covers from side to side for me. Each module has 3 x 8px #apa102 #sk9822 10mm 144ppm strips zigzagged and interconected to the next module via 4way ribbon IDC cable....

#process vid, time compressed into 60 s! The #3dprinter is doing its thing in the background while I knock out 1 of the modules for the Pixel Belt. I like to use #apa102 #sk9822 for #wearable projects as they are more tolerent to power issues. The strip is also 10mm wide and allows more density. The belt will likely have 9 or 11 modules depending on the final length of the belt. I like to use an odd number so I can have a centre point ;) Will be using the #esp8266 for this piece
