E1.31 sACN
If you have been playing with inexpensive sACN/E1.31 pixel controllers then you are most likely familiar with the ESPixelStick firmware and its related hardware. The software is open source and will run on various Esp8266/ESP32 variants. The maker of the…
While I have been using WLED to control pixels for quite a while I have mainly used the built-in effects. However WLED does work with E1.31 (also called SCAN – Streaming Architecture for Control Networks) which lets you send DMX512…
While using the wired DMX output on WLED limits you to a single universe (512 DMX channels or 170 RGB pixels) it does let you make use of any DMX fixtures you may have. These are often much better for…
A huge driver in the development of DIY led pixel systems has been the Christmas Lighting community. Here is a huge list (from the maker of the Canispater Christmas Videos) of some related sites. I also have a page with…
While the ESPixelStick based controllers are great sometimes you want (or need) a wired Ethernet connection. One of the Xmas lighting site members (Barnabybear) has written code for a great range of controllers using an Arduino Nano, ENC28J60 Ethernet shield…
