Music reactive WS2812b LEDs with an ESP8266.

Sorry for lack of documentation, more is coming soon. Please add me on Discord manol#7762 if you have problems / want to help me test. You need an ESP8266 / ESP01 (others might work too), WS2812 or WS2812b LED strips (others might work too) and a 5V power supply with enough amps.

ESP SETUP

Flash the program onto your ESP8266 using Arduino IDE. Make sure you are using this fork of FastLED: https://github.com/coryking/FastLED

Change the settings in ws2812_controller.ino to match your network settings

Change NUM_LEDS to the amount of LEDs you have. Don't change DATA_PIN if you are using an ESP8266 and have the fork above.

You may need to change COLOR_ORDER depending on your LED strip.

**SERVER SETUP **

• Extract the python folder somewhere on your PC.
• Open python/config.json and input your ESP8266 details

{
    "devices": [
        {
            "name": "Name of your lights (such as Bedroom or Window)",
            "type": "ESP8266",
            "ip": "IP of your ESP",
