ESP32 WLED LED Controller — a compact, DIYready controller designed to drive addressable digital LED strips and deliver dynamic, lighting. Ideal for makers, installers, and hobbyists who want flexible control, animated effects, and soundreactive lighting in one module. Key benefits Universal addressable control: Drives addressable LED chipsets so you can reuse existing WS2811/WS2812/SK6812/TM1814/WS2813/WS2815 strips without changing hardware. Ready for WLED: Compatible with WLED firmware for a broad library of effects, easy configuration, and communitysupported features. Sound reactive lighting: Builtin microphone enables audioresponsive effects without extra hardware, making it simple to add music or ambient sound interaction. DIYfriendly: Compact, makeroriented controller that integrates into custom projects, installations, and retrofit lighting setups. Main features and attributes Functionality: ESP32based controller designed to run WLED or similar firmware to create dynamic animations and lighting sequences. Compatibility: Works with addressable LED strips that use WS2811, WS2812, SK6812, TM1814, WS2813, and WS2815 protocols. Sound input: Onboard microphone for realtime soundreactive modes and audio visualization. Control options: Designed for flexible DIY integration and control of digital addressable LEDs using standard data/control lines. Form factor: Compact, lightweight module intended for easy mounting inside DIY fixtures, enclosures, and LED installations. Performance: Supports dynamic animations and responsive visual effects suitable for ambient lighting, accent lighting, and decorative installations. How it solves common problems Eliminates compatibility guesswork: Supports the most common addressable LED chipsets so you can swap or reuse strips without extra converters. Simplifies soundreactive setups: Builtin mic removes the need for external audio sensors for musicdriven lighting. Speeds up deployment: WLED compatibility provides readymade effects, presets, and configuration tools, reducing development time for projects. Typical use cases Ambient TV/monitor backlighting: Create smooth, reactive backlight effects that match onscreen content or respond to audio for immersive viewing. Party and event lighting: Drive long runs of WS281x or SK6812 strips with synchronized animations and musicresponsive modes to match the venue atmosphere. DIY installations and props: Integrate into custom furniture, cosplay, signage, and architectural accents for programmable, animated lighting controlled via WLEDcompatible tools. What to expect in practice Plugandplay compatibility with a wide range of addressable LED strips. Smooth, dynamic animations managed through WLED firmware and tools. Immediate soundreactive behavior using the onboard microphone for projects that react to music or ambient noise. Note: This controller is intended for DIY integration with addressable LED strips and to be used with compatible firmware (WLED) and wiring appropriate for the target LED strip. Follow safety and installation guidelines for wiring and power supply when connecting LED strips and controllers.
