ravelights-pixeldriver

This is the low-level counterpart to the ravelights backend for driving WS28XX individually addressable LEDs or other pixel-like devices like laser diodes via an ESP32 microcontroller and custom hardware.

Features

• Receive pixel frames via Artnet (wifi or serial)
• Discover pixel driver instances via mDNS
• Configure parallel FastLED outputs via REST API
• Drive many pixels by utilizing both CPU cores of the ESP32 and FastLED's parallel output

Architecture

Getting started

• Clone this repository --recursively.
• Install ESP-IDF extension for Visual Studio Code and install ESP-IDF v5.1.4. See here for further instructions.

See the main/examples directory for usage examples. A specific example can be selected for compilation by adapting main/CmakeLists.txt.
