A firmware and web interface for a ws2812b led strip controlled by an esp8266. This was mainly developed for the realraum 0x10 birthday party.
Just an ordinary ledstrip with an esp8266 on one end. Because of the length of the strip, we had to use multiple power supplies. This meant cutting the +5V cables and soldering 5VDC / 2A power supplies to the strip. Make sure to not put the power supplies in parallel!
The firmware is written with PlatformIO to quickly build the software, as ESP-IDF is quite complicated to setup / is a bit overhead for such a little project.
I recommend importing the project into PlatformIO and compile it from the IDE
The webinterface is plain HTMl with CSS and JavaScript for the WebSocket connection.
The webinterface is started by default on port 3000. You can change the port via the environment variable PORT.
First, install all dependencies with npm install. Then, start the webinterface with npm start.
