  • Recently I wanted to learn how to put WLED on my favorite chip, the ESP32! I found a whole bunch of conflicting information and lore about how to set it up, but I've streamlined and simplified the process so literally ANYONE can install WLED on an ESP32!

    Terrific tutorial. My ESP32 arrived today, and I have it programmed already, thanks to you. Tomorrow the LED's arrive, so hopefully I will be grooving to the LED's tomorrow night. Thanks very much.

      I know not a lot of people are going to be programming their own ESP32's but its so easy and its such a cool project, I wanted to show people how easy it really is!

    You add a resistor and a logic level shifter when you start using longer runs of LED’s to prevent the weird flashing that happens otherwise. I think it has something to do with creating a cleaner signal. lol I’m still new at this but I tried running a long strand and it did all sorts of weird things and cleaned right up once I put in a logic level shifter (to create a 5v signal vs the 3v that the board puts out) and a resistor (to do whatever magic that does to send a signal that didn’t get corrupted along the way).

    Can you make the ARGB lights show progress of what you are printing? Either fade green to red or have the lights turn off one by one so you can see at a glance how far off your print has to go?
    Cool video !

    VIN is often not protected, you can kill your usb port on your computer if you accidentally short it.
    Same goes for the 5v pin on arduino when powered over usb.
    Just something to keep in mind when ever you do a project.
    WLed is a fun project however it does add to the copy paste code way of programming thats happening more and more.
    Great tip in sticking it to your workbench, probably alot easier then blue tack as i often do.

      @@TalkingSasquach if you do alot of experimenting it's worth it to make a usb cable with a PTC fuse.
      Bit of experiment board, ptc fuse, usb cable and a female usb port is all you need.
      You can go to 1 amp but personally I wouldn't go higher then 500ma for the fuse.
      You could make it more fancy with an indicator led and a 3d printed case😁

    I wonder if this will work in conjunction with Home Assistant. I already have 2 ESP32's one for monitoring battery voltage and 1 for monitoring my freezer temperature in Home Assistant. Would be cool having this for example if a motion sensor gets tripped its a certain color for front and different color for back. Love the potential uses in Home Assistant

    WLED is single handedly destroying the overpriced christmas light bs and other generic garbage systems [the resistor is a protection item it prevents over voltage. the capacitor helps smooth out voltage see adafruit for more details]

      @@TalkingSasquach Low voltage electrician / electrical engineer by trade here. Resistors are important to protect the circuit from voltage differential and overall prevents the LED's from overheating and burning out prematurely.
      You can run LED's without resistors but you are just causing unnecessary damage to the components that could be prevented by proper circuit design.
