WLED Controller V0.10 (WLAN, ESP32)

WLED Pixel Controller (Wi-Fi) to control addressable LED/Neopixels with the marvelous WLED. Since the Controller is open-source hardware (CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0), it can also be used with any other firmware. What WLED can do can be seen on the WLED Youtube channel.

cod.m supports the development of WLED with monthly donations via Github-Sponsors.

WS2812/SK6812: WS2811, WS2812(B), Neopixel, WS2813, SK6812 and compatible. For pixel types with only one data line.
WS2815: 12V strip that, unlike WS2812 12V, can drive each LED individually.
WS2814: Controlled as SK6812 RGBW and changed colour order as well as white channel and green swapped, see picture on the right. Attention: Only works with WLED version 0.14.0-b1 or higher. Please install this via "Manual OTA" according to the controller version. See overview of versions.
WS2801: WS2801 and compatible. For most pixelstrips with data and clock line.
APA102: APA102, SK9822 and compatible. Pixel type with data and clock line but different from WS2801.

Regarding pixel type support, it is worth taking a look at the WLED documentation under official WLED documentation.
Anyone who wants to support the further development of the aboslut grandiose WLED is invited to donate on GitHub. cod.m itself contributes financially to the development of WLED through a GitHub sponsorship. So every controller you buy already contributes to it.

Important: We strongly recommend reading the Adafruit Neopixel Uberguide. There, many basics for the use of addressable pixel strips are explained. For the 1000µF capacitor and fuse recommended for each supply, we offer our Fused Pixel Power Capacitor Board. The resistor used in the Uberguide and the necessary level shifters for the data line are already integrated on our controller.

The distance between the pixel controller and the pixel strip can be up to two metres due to the built-in 74AHCT125D level shifter. For longer distances to the Strip, we recommend our Pixel Range Extender.
