So I have lots of TLS3001 12 bit pixels that I thought would be great to use for my selfie wings as the colors will (should?) look better than standard pixels.

Only problem is all the newer F-prop, Genius "in and out" pi hat, even the baldrick, have all moved to only 3 wire pixel outputs.
Scratch that, my pixels have 4 pin connectors but are only 3 wire pixels. Silly bugger. Rest of problem still applies though.

I have a Falcon F16 that will do the job, but is extremely overkill for standalone prop.

I also have Advatek Pixlite16 that will run lights, but has no input capability.

Was thinking an 28D+ pi hat would be perfect, but alas no mention of TLS3001 pixels.

Interesting conundrum I have.

Basically looking for any insights/ideas on what would be a suitable option without using an entire Falcon F16 for one prop.

Thanks for reading,
Rowan

Personally I plug them into the F16, then put the buttons on my pi and get them to start effect sequences for the wings. These run in parallel to the main sequence.
 
WLED doesn't seem to have support for TLS3001.

I found a Pixlite 4 in my box of random controllers, so I think I'll be using that and a pi zero with some resistors to run a button. That will keep it all in the one control box somewhat stand alone. (Still connected to network so I can fiddle with sequencing and what not.)
