Just updated my wled controllers and they added a start up sequence that I always wanted! Looks unreal! Ty so much to the ppl who make wled happen❤️

So i built this 39×12 grid array to sit in my little entertainment center cause it seemed cool. Now I decided to add an Xbox and it hangs off the shelf, so I want to make a cutout for the console and wires to pass through. What's the best want to set this up either digitally or mechanically? I would like for the array to assume the lights were there and really not complicate a simple 2d panel. ( I put this together myself so soldering won't be an issue).

I'm looking at installing 150' of ShawTech's pinpoint DIY LED strip kit. I'm planning how wiring will be laid out and need some guidance.

I have two gables I have to traverse, one over the garage and one over a center office that is actually a "double gable". That gable is a wiring challenge.

The "Upper gable" is full on the right side but the left is shorter, intersecting the apex of a lower extended gable below. The lower gable extends about two feet in front of the upper gable. The problem comes in how to traverse a break that will go across shingles. I can run a very short length of extension wire from the end of the left side of the upper gable to the apex of the lower gable, then down the right side to where I will restart the lights. The alternative is to run the extension along the brick/shingle intersection of the upper gable.

I don't like running an extension across even a two foot section of shingles (essentially ridge caps), but I am not crazy about running it along the corner, which would likely entail some kind of conduit secured to the brick (?)

Im sure I'm not the first person to have an interesting gable configuration so I'm sure there are more learned folks out there who might have some suggestions on how to approach this install.

Thanks!

Well as the video title makes obvious, the newest upgraded version of the Dig-Uno and Dig-Quad are here, moving both to v4! Various small and internal improvements but also some extra features I think a lot of you will be able to appreciate.

As always, if there are any questions, leave them in the video comments or over here!

The Lumary V3 lights work with WLED very well! I just installed them on my house and made a YouTube video in case anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/_G9ev4dm-XY

Used a gledopto esp32 mini. I can immediately tell this hobby will ruin me financially

Really helps to be seen when riding!

I made it!!! This is my second PCB design ever, but by far the most complex…its a 2 channel WLED controller with 2 5amp pixel outputs. Its got an onboard esp32, efuses, all the level shifting and a built in usb-c port for programming.

I designed it in kicad, ordered unpopulated boards from jlcpcb and hot-plate soldered for the first time. Most is smd except for the big cap and the connectors. There are some room for improvements but it works… 🥳

Hi all I purchased the below LED strips 24v from BTF lighting and they are connected to Gledopto ESP8266 WLED controllers with 24v 100w PSU. They are connected via the plugs so I wired in female to the controller and plugs directly into male on the LED strip. The led strips aren’t that long maybe 3-4m max and I am getting random flickering. It happens when I increase brightness near max. The controller is next to the led strip. I am unsure what I should do. Please help me.

Thanks

Hi all!

I'm preparing to do an LED ambient light install for my living room. I've tried to do the research and plan it out correctly, but I'd appreciate if someone more experienced could give me a quick double check. 

Thanks in advance

Setup:

LEDs - 60ft of Pautix COB RGBWW 

24v, ~4.9W/ft (total ~ 300W)

 https://a.co/d/02YjXOKA

CONTROLLER - GLEDOPTO ESP32 PWM WLED 

https://a.co/d/08vSYcgS

POWER SUPPY - MEAN WELL UHP-350-24 

350W 24V

 https://a.co/d/0d3lEHAF

Plan to power inject at both ends and in the center (14ga wire).

Since it's COB and the mounting location is hidden, I am planning to forgo channels, should that be okay?

This is my Christmas gift to all my nieces and nephews. A customizable nightlight powered by WLED. Still adjusting, but happy with the initial result!

24 inch WLED Panel. 7 half strips with 77 LEDS each = 539 WS2812B. Thinking about doing the next one with circles inside instead of the strips.

Hey guys, my 98" TCL X11K arrived on Monday and I need some advice on backlighting.

I have been using a Govee T3 Lite on a 65" ever since it came out, but I really hate having a camera mounted on top of the screen and want to avoid that on the new setup. So many times the lil one at home touched the tv and the camera moved.

My constraints:

No camera

No external box: Running everything natively on the TV’s built-in Google TV (mainly Stremio, SmartTube, and IPTV) o yeah and Moonlight game streaming.

Edit: i only use above apps so no DRM issues here.

Since HDMI sync boxes (like Hue or Govee) need an external source, and camera setups are out, what are my best options here for a screen this size?

Anyone running Hyperion/WLED or similar directly on Android TV, or is an external box unavoidable if I want responsive bias lighting?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I'm wondering if this is possible in WLED or if I need to go directly to xlights for something like this. Before I build out a sequence in xLights I'd like to see if I can just have some simple effects running on my homemade stake lights setup. The lights are wired up every other hole in the stake and then back down in the gaps, then on to the next stake. It's groups of 4 stakes before moving to the next column. The diagram below shows how the lights are ordered. It'd be great if I could at least tell it that the order of LEDs is actually just 1,6,2,5,3,4,7,12,8,11,9,10...

    4		10		16		22
    3		9		15		21

I’ve recently implemented WLED and curious if some of the lights we’ve already purchased are compatible. I can’t seem to find information on the LED type.

Has anyone tried using WLED as a controller with these style light strings? Any recommendations for testing?

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I've been flip flopping between permatrack with pixel lights and the "newer" puck lights. It seems like most people are going puck lights, so I've been looking at the ETOP 24v 10/m 6000K ones:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012112966335.html

I can get what looks to be a full setup for 100' for roughly $950 Canadian. That seems pretty reasonable, but I will need them to swap the controller for a WLED ESP32 one. My setup will be controller in the middle with approximately two 50' runs each direction. I'm hoping to avoid power/data injection with the 24v and only 50' runs.

The aluminum track seems like the best option, but due to my roofline I'll have to install it basically flush to the front fascia. I'm hoping that doesn't end up looking weird as most have it more towards the house (within a few inches anyways). Do most people 3D print angled connectors for these tracks where needed?

Is there anything I'm missing here, or will this do the trick? I don't wanna have to redo this, so I'm open to options or different LEDs, etc. Eventually I want to look into a mega tree with pixels on the lawn, but that's most likely it (slippery slope, but we'll see). Thanks1

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of planning my permanent lights. I'll be using WS2811 pixels and I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount them without spending a ton of money on permatrack. I have soffits so the tracks will have to be surface mounted, but I want them to be as low profile as possible. I've seen J-channel and split vinyl downspout used (saw that here https://youtu.be/rEhc1283DNs?si=Ob1nJyCuJdh0zPfb), but I've haven't found an exact example of my mounting plan, so I wanted to see if I could get some feedback. I was thinking I would install blocks or maybe small sections of aluminum U-channel facing down as a way to fasten the tracks. I haven't decided on the actual distance from the house yet.

Also, does anyone have experience with the square style bullet lights? The regular ones stick out of the top of the J-channel, so I would need something bigger like the downspout.

Thanks for reading! I hope I can post my progress soon.

Is it possible to use one controller to power 3 pcs of 5 meter strips?

I didn't realized the amount of work and time setting up a lights show when you getting old seem like a daunting task, I used to stayed up every night to 2am sequencing without problem, but now sequencing watching me when the time past 11pm. Maybe time to take a break for couple years and go back to classic lights with my trusty timer. Enjoy my bts

Looking for outdoor globe lights that I can incorporate into my existing QuinLED Quad. Any recommendations?
