You should think about the high-quality development of a plugin for controlling LED lamps if you want to make them "smart".

Just a heads up, but some users may experience build errors after PlatformIO auto-updates to the new 6.0 Core branch (released a few days ago). Two...

I think it might be possible using the 'picture' effect. Make an image which is a white circle on a black background (say) then move that by adding...

I knew I had read it but couldn't find it when I needed it. I suppose I was just searching incorrectly for the examples. Sent from my SM-G991U...

Thanks for sharing your MQTT example. The command syntax for MQTT and the other controllers is summarized here: ...

Right now I am doing it local from the Pi. I would hope to control everything from XLights once its all competed and tested down the road. I am...

I have been waiting on my parts to arrive and became board. So, with my ESP32 and my RF boards in I was not ready to start soldering yet. But, I...

I am familiar with hanson. They have been around since I was lurking in the early 10s (and it says on their website for 25 years so long before...

Is the Pi linked to a show? Part of the show or just to run standalone effects and maybe things from the control panel? The standard gpio for FPP are...

Not sure I can help you there, LOL. I Don't use Pi's that way. I do know there are several Pi Hats, or capes, that give you 2 pixel outputs so you...

https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/ This is just one who is across the Pond that you may be aware of. I don't know exactly how many or who they...

Thanks, good to know. I've been having difficulty adjusting the bed height, and had to set it so high that the springs are almost fully extended.

That's how I read it, too. They are licensing out their secret sauce, which is taking advantage of the Pi's GPU to optimize the pixel performance,...

I highly suggest you save yourself some future grief and plan on replacing the bed springs pretty much right away. For only a couple of bucks it...

Make sure you fold your arms, spin around in a circle four times, go outside and spit twice. That's one of the secrets they don't put in the assembly...

So if I am understanding this correctly, the 2 output RHL SIMPLE PI PIXEL CONTROLLER KIT will not need a license key since it is only 2 outputs, is...

Ender 3. Just setting it up now...

Who are these vendors? I would like to check out their products.

Gahhh....I forgot and used the 2 short headers that came with the ESP module, and not the headers that were included in the BOM. I went back and...

Only the USB cable is needed to flash the firmware. It will provide power to the ESP32 (but not to the other circuitry). If 12V power is connected...

Noob. Nube. Newb. I guess it all comes down to where you are from. Amazing how someone with 14 years of experience (yours truly) is constantly...

Quick question: I never loaded the software onto the SD card and tested the ESP module by plugging in a USB cable to connect it, but soldered the...

Ok thanks.

Well there is that poster I had up in my dorm in college. I might be off by a letter.

Who you calling a Nube? :munch:

youngsters. sheesh. get it right. it was squirls. they used to be good for something :)

Did they have the internet back then? Didn't back then you had long distance phone calls, and people.had to.decide.between paying the long distance...

Thank you! Now I am looking for detailed info on connecting 4 WS2811 LED strips to a Pi? The same Pi that will be the display in the sleigh would...
