- jareklupinski 4y agoPersonally a fan of Adafruit's Feather boards, their ESP32 Feather can probably use the WLED code as-is, and there's expansions that include all the LEDs already soldered https://www.adafruit.com/product/2945 https://www.adafruit.com/product/2945
- spdustin 4y agoCan confirm that Huzzah32 runs WLED just fine. Really convenient to have that LiPo battery connector and charging circuit built in, too.
- poutine 4y agoCheck out the Athom box, available on Ali Express: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003776848515.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.59766d43BF5mzA https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003776848515.html?spm=a2... It's an all in one with WLED on it. You just need a strip, some wire and a power supply.
- antsar 4y agoAlso available from their site with much faster shipping than AliExpress’s Jan 20 (to the US, at least). https://www.athom.tech/ https://www.athom.tech/ Happily using this little guy to drive 100 fairy lights (from Adafruit), all from a USB plug. https://www.athom.tech/blank-1/wled-2812b-led-strip-controller https://www.athom.tech/blank-1/wled-2812b-led-strip-controll...
- jsjohnst 4y agocheck out the boards made by Quindor. Very solid, very affordable. https://quinled.info https://quinled.info His videos and blog posts are super helpful too!
- ThrowawayTestr 4y agoSearch "ESP RGB" on AliExpress. There's a $2 breakout board for the ESP-01 that makes it really easy to run LED strips. All you have to do it power it with 5V and the board converts it for the ESP.
