You should be right going down that path - if you are 12v - you wont need too much power injection but depens on your density blah blah. it's pretty much how i wired my matrix last year and will again this year. my data lengths were only 4m from controller though Matrix (3m x 2m) was just...

WLED by itself can't call external HTTP APIs (main branch) only on itself - part of the presets config WLED can do MQTT though but nope not complicating it I was looking at a usermod for WLED to call externall http APIs, on button push, it would signal (via FPP API) and tell FPP to play an...

Oh yeah, haha thx, was referring to the esp32 so gpios shouldn't be an issue. So playlist execution is supported by the one button on ESPPixelStick - good start This next bit may or may not help envisaging my plan... but... Goal I need to run my angel wings 5 buttons, each will run a coloured...

Hey @Martin Mueller you'd know how easy this might be (bc your name is all over the repo) ;) ESPixelStick seems to only have 1 button by default - how easy would it be to make it have 6 ? and then config each of those 6 buttons to run a certain fseq off sdcard? couldn't see any obvious button /...

Hey when you say remote mode - are you saying esppixelstick firmware can play the .fseq file format to the pixels directly? haha - I just looked at the source and answered my own question - yes it does ;)

love your work... but hmmm, now all my disabled effects are rendering Disabled effects in :- v 2024.04 - working - they dont render v 2024.05 - broken - they render v 2024.06 - broken - they render i'll drop this on the github issue list for ya ;)

@Cranzy @Skymaster Oops - i think i forgot to use my ACL username as reference when i paid - my paypal ref is 8SH44573PJ460271S and i put "Perth Mini 2024 baby!!" (sorry i got a little excited there)

WT32s have boot issues - i can aclaim to that - you can get passed them by adding a 100uf or 470uf 16v electrolytic capaciter between GND and EN (W_EN) pin this delays the boot by holding the EN to GND (reset state) so when the cap is full it lets the juice flow through and lets the WT32 boot...

I use the WT32-ETH01s i used a D1 Mini to flash mine, keep the essp8266 in reset and you can use the usb to flash from your computer / browser to the WT32 Albeit i created my own pogo pin peg to match the board i made - but you can just wire it using female dupont wires 4 connections from d1...

oh sweet, finally a Perth mini, I cant wait! 🤯

Mr SmartAlec, I've got a few beaglebone blacks now - how's troubleshooting your pixelbone5 controllers going? if not ready - no sweat - i was thinking of doing a few full builds of a PB16 / BBB_16 ( or one of the others ) by Scott Hanson https://github.com/computergeek1507/PB_16/tree/master/BBB_16

sorry yes what @David_AVD said, way more info and accuracy TY - my efficiency comment was related to efficiency rating which do vary and is usually 80% under certain loads but that is on the input conversion to output, a proper PSU will give you the full rating of course - afterall this isnt...

E Efficiency rule of psu and to make them last longer. But just run your lights at 80% and no more like you have in your calc already and that should cover it.

Tune it to your circuit. For what I had running on my board it was appropriate at the time. I can not recall how I came a a conclusion 1000uf sorry, may have come from I one of my other esp32 projects and ive just carried it forward or previous layout where I had voltage and data on the one...

Too late, ive started, I'll make sure a defib is close by! 🤣 And I'll remember to halve it before I inform wife lol
