  1. The serial LED strip stuff on ESP IDF is pretty good, a standard library. e.g. neopixel, etc.

    It used RMT (IR Remote Control) to generate the series of pulses.

    But a better way is to use SPI. And the library now does that too.

    But I wanted something the library does not do.

    Ability to have a strip that is, say, RGB, linked to another that is RGBW. Send 3 bytes for first X pixels and 4 for the rest, etc.

    So, ended up making my own SPI based serial LED driver.

    Yay, it works.

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. Hey fellow Neopixel/WS2812 fans: know of any in-production versions of smaller LED rings using 3535- or 2020-sized WS2812/SK6812 LEDs? (as opposed to the standard 5050 sizes most rings use) Seems like it’d be a great solution for putting around pots/encoders. I can’t find any on Ali
