Wasatch Pixels Advanced Eight Controller

Description

This is an ESP32-based Ethernet controller with a level-shifting eight port HAT to control 8 LED pixel strings and/or strips. This board has built in power distribution with standard Phoenix connectors for convenience in hooking up your LED strings or strips.

What is it?

This is a board to control WS2812, WS2811, WS2815 and various other protocol LED lights. It uses an ESP32-based WT32-ETH01 board with a custom HAT that shifts the 3.3V signals from the ESP32 to 5V signals expected by strings and strips of LEDs. It comes installed with WLED software that supports both Ethernet and WiFi connectivity. This can be used to control simple animations of LED lights as well as receive E1.31 and DDP data for sequenced light shows from programs such as Vixen and xLights and Falcon Player(no paid license needed). This board has 8 outputs to control and power 8 separate light strings.

What makes it special?

It is an Ethernet pixel controller that runs WLED and supports high frame rate pixels shows. Unlike dig-uno and dig-quad boards, it has Ethernet built in without extra cost and can support high frame rates without lagging or staggering. It has 8 outputs so you can control up to 8 separate strings of LED lights.

12V Power Source: This board outputs both data and 12V power to pixels. There is no need for a separate power distribution board unless needed for power injection. Each port accommodates up to 5 amps.
