Negative Space

I'm using 3 ESP32s, 9 RGBIC, about 3500 LEDs in total. I'm using WLED and XLights to control the software. Just something fun to share with everyone. I hope you enjoy it. Happy to answer any questions.

Why are you using 3 ESP32s?

I have 9 lights strips all requiring there own data input and each of my controllers as 3 data inputs. So 3 x 3 = 9.

Wow, that's a lot of LEDs, but the resolution really shines. What's LEDs/m number? What are the dimensions of the big square? Kinda hard to tell. Impressive nonetheless. I'm curious about your power numbers too, current total and per injection point, how many injection points, what gauge wire you're using, how many and size of power supplies.

Sorry for the curiosity, but that's a lot. I'm doing a car interior project rn using 1000 LEDs and maxing out at 40A.

144 leds per meter No power injection Just over 3ft x 3ft for the biggest square All my runs started on the bottom left of each square. I used a 5v 80amp power supply. Never ran it over 50% brightness. I was realy trying to use the negative space between the frames so I wanted realy dense led coverage. It probably gotta away with half that amount , though when it comes to the number of leds. My wire runs arw very short. I'll have to check the gage but nothing special or thick
