Thought I saw an atmega on one of your boards, I must have been wrong! Yes, I was planning on using the ESP for all my logic. My thinking here is my shows will be stored on a main computer and sent to individual controllers and stored on their EEPROM. I'm thinking 4 bytes per action, 1st byte...

Thanks for the speedy and helpful reply, I was aware that this wouldn't give me the ability to light up the entire strand (unless it was the 3 string version, to be honest I have never even seen one of them in the wild!) it did work to a certain extent but like you said would def need a clock to...

Hey all, I previously had big ideas on doing a big light display using RGB Pixels, music, etc, etc, etc. Unfortunately money, power requirements, and network capabilities are just not going to make it an option for me at the moment so toying with the idea of making my own controller just for...

I'm sorry, this has probably been discussed else where but when I search I just see quinled mentioned in passing but not much about people's experience with them. Just wondering if people have used them and what kind of outcome they got from them. I came across quinled as I started using some...

Hi All, I'm just starting to research into world of xmas lights and came across these forums. I haven't read the 101 guide as of yet, but will start having a look through soon. My experience so far is running 450 ws2811 string lights just off a bench top power supply and a NodeMCU, so I'm sure...
