RGB LED STRIPS project by luk6xff

Project of RGB LED driver based on the excellent WLED library.

Connections

Connect a WS2812B-compatible RGB(W) led strip to GPIO2. On most ESP8266 based development boards this pin is labeled D4 (Note: On a NodeMCU ESP8266 Board a 4.7kOhm pullup to 3.3V might be needed, since the pin may not be pulled down to GND by the LED strip during the bootphase of the board), on ESP32 based boards use D2 or G2 or 2. If this wire cannot be kept short, use a level shifter/translator. Optionally connect a normally open pushbutton to GPIO0 (NodeMCU/Wemos pin D3) and ground. Note: Board pin naming varies depending on the manufacturer. Please use the board pinout from the specific board you purchased and use the GPIO PINS to reference this guide. Make sure to connect ESP and LED-strip grounds together.

PIO tool path

If pio tool is not visible globally, set the alias:

alias pio=~/.platformio/penv/bin/pio

Build and Flashing

  • ESP32_DEV
  1. Choose: env:esp32dev, run Build and when finished Upload button.
  2. Or run the following command:
pio run --environment esp32dev && pio run --target upload  --environment esp32dev --upload-port /dev/ttyACM0
  • ESP8266 WEMOS D1_MINI
  1. Choose: env:d1_mini, run Build and when finished Upload button.
  2. Or run the following command:
pio run --environment d1_mini && pio run --target upload  --environment d1_mini
