ESP8266 based Wi-Fi Pixel Controller to drive adressable LED stripes like Neopixel/SK6812/WS2801/etc using WLED. Version 0.6 includes an 74AHCT125D level shifter for the 5V logic of the typical pixel. 12V stripes could also be used, as they too have 5V data lines. See the wiring examples:
You can buy it at our webshop: Wi-Fi Pixel Controller (WLED)
The board comes preflashed with the current version of WLED, but can be used with any firmware you like, as we've added a flash and reset button for easy flashing.
It can be used with nearly every type of adressable led strips: WS2812B, WS2813, SK6812, APA102, WS2801, LPD8806, TM1814, WS2811, WS2815, GS8208.
Please read the Adafruit Neopixel Uberguide on how to work with Neopixels. Antother good starting pint is the WLED Wiki.
Based on the LoxPixel-idea from Dennis (www.unser-smartes-zuhause.de) we've discussed a board layout and in the beginning developed our own software based in Dennis' initial code. In the end we've settled to expand the absolutely astonishing WLED project with the needed features for Loxone. In Version 0.11 WLED can now understand Loxone values.
