[QUOTE="Notenoughlights, post: 131275, member: 25585"] There's nothing wrong with either method, esp32's or a purpose-built controller, both will work just fine. Ideally you would be using an ethernet connection to the ESP module as controlling a large number of leds over WiFi if the signal is not strong can get choppy. There are prebuilt ESP32 controllers available, some listed in posts above, there are also QuinLED controllers, 1(2) outputs, 4 outputs, 8 outputs etc all based on an ESP32 capable of running WLED or ESPixelStick firmware. [URL]https://quinled.info/pre-assembled-boards/[/URL] Just remember that esp32 controllers are limited to 2000~ pixels across all outputs before you start to notice framerate drops where as purpose built controllers, falcon, or BBB based controllers can handle tens of thousands. Just something to think about if you plan to run a lot of pixels from one controller. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
