Learn here how to install the wLED binary, which means flashing your ESP32 microcontroller.

Make sure your power source is constant, which means use a uninterruptible power supply, UPS, at least while you are flashing!

Please do not brick your ESP32

This is een important word of warning from the wLED Creator

New setups should use the ESP32 not the dated ESP8266 because that micro controller reaches end of life / end of support soon. The ESP32 also has Bluetooth which The ESP8266 lacks.

Heed his Warning

Now you can learn how to do the wLED control on the Raspberry Pi5

So first start with my previous post then come to this one. Of course you understand why this logic is used; first learn to crawl then Sprint.

My SBC of choice is the Raspberry Pi5
I want to control wLED with it!

So i dug further and found this site, where you learn from scratch how to start with the ESP8266

Today I learned about an incredible project for the ESP32 project WLED! ✨

It's an implementation of a ESP32/ESP8266 webserver to control NeoPixel LEDs

Read all about it on the website.
