[QUOTE="Skymaster, post: 131287, member: 36626"] ESP32 with ESPixelStick or WLED _is a controller_. It takes in networked channel data (e1.31/ddp/etc) and spits out WS2811 data. No different to the likes of any of the FPP based ones, such as Kulp, Hanson (both) etc. It's all done in software. Just that the CPU on the ESP doesn't have the guts of the beagle bone. Falcons, advateks etc do it in hardware and more specialised code so that the timing is more accurate. Geniuis are a mix of esp32 and rp2040 chips, each doing their own bit. Many smaller controllers like ESPs (ethernet based, steer away from WiFi) in a layout gives the same benefits of a single f48 with receivers, cat5 out to the prop, and breaking it out there. The difference is just how they work. [/QUOTE]

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