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

@Dendrobatus_Azureus In my experience with WLED, Pi5 is overkill (by a lot), ESP8266 is undersized and won't be able to use all of its features. ESP32 is perfect.

You can also get some INMP441 microphones and do audio-reactive light effects pretty easily with ESP32, too
