    If you put a sdcard on the esp32 and are running firmware 4, then the sdcard will be available via the gui. You would copy your sequences (in sparse fseq format) to the sdcard and put espixelstick in player mode. This part of the Wiki explains how to play from the card:

    Hi, I got the paper holder, connected it and prepared a small sequence.
    The sequence has been saved on paper.
    At the time of operation the sequence did not work and the flashing of the string seemed random.
    I disconnected the card and I connected a string of 50 leds WS2811 and I launched the application XLIGHTS but the leds turned on so not in accordance with the sequence set.
    Has it happened to anyone?
    Thank you G59

    Show us the config and maybe we can see something with the way you have them setup. When you change from SDCard to E1.31, you need to change the config.

    With xLights, I believe you can see that the ESP connected and you can send down the config.

    Hi, these are the settings of the ESP32.
    Today he does not want to accept the memory card.

    Hi, I can't see the memory card anymore.
    The links I made are:
    Memory card ESP32
    Gnd Gnd
    Vcc 5V
    MISO GIOP19-MISO
    MOSI GIOP23-MOSI
    SCK GIOP18-SCK
    CS GIOP5-SS
    If anyone has any ideas to solve the problem.
    Thanks G59

    Sorry, I moved the Gnd of the memory card from one point of the SP32 of gnd to another point of gnd and it started to work.
    With Google I connect to ESP32.
    The memory card is about 500 MB and has been formatted with FAT32.
    Wwhat and how to configure XLIGHTS the memory card to insert a show.
    I'm using ESPixelStick 4 beta
    Thanks G59

    Hi,
    I managed to install a mmory card on ESP32 500 Mb.
    If I understand correctly, to work with the memory card without a notebook it is necessary to install a software: FPP.
    Since there are various types: BBB / PI.
    I would like to know which is the most suitable and what program you can use to download it in ESP32.
    Thanks K59

    FPP itself doesn't run on the ESP32. Espixelstick software (firmware) will run on the ESP32 and can receive sync messages from FPP. Or the Espixelstick can run the sequence itself and not be synced to FPP. You will need at least V3 of the software but Martin's version (V4) has the latest fixes and enhancements. @martinmueller2003 He will have to remind us again where the latest released version is kept.

    Hi,
    I installed Espixelstick V4.
    I followed various videos on XLIGHTS Epilstick and ESP32.
    After having corrected a sequence and saved it on the memory card, I find myself having to start it.
    Some youtube videos use FPP software.
    So I'm confused and I don't know how to go on.
    thanks K59
