v1.3.0
c7d9225

Feature release, built and verified on the stable WLED 0.16 branch (QuinLED Dig-Next-4 prototype).

New

  • Staggered bring-up (stagger / stagger-ms, on by default, 25 ms): outputs switch on one at a time, at least the configured spacing apart, so the power supply sees one inrush at a time instead of every section at once. Integrated with the existing power-on sequence: per-relay delays, minimum off-time, PSU stabilization and the anti-flash blackout (a waiting output simply keeps its black window a little longer, then fades in as usual). Any relay switching on counts as the reference for the next slot.

Changed

  • Power-on with the anti-flash blackout disabled now goes through the same sequence as with it enabled: no black frames, but the segment's fade is restarted the moment its output is powered, so the full fade is visible.
  • Fuse sensing: an inrush settle window (one second after any output switches on) during which indicator-type fuse inputs hold their last state and no fuse fault is reported - the inrush of the last output of a staggered bring-up can briefly light its blown-fuse indicator.

Ready-to-flash Dig-Next-2 package (attached)

Dig-Next-2_WLED-16_PowerManager-v1.3.0.zip - WLED 0.16 + PowerManager v1.3.0 with all Dig-Next-2 defaults compiled in. Unzip, double-click Flash-Dig-Next-2.bat (bundled flasher, nothing to install), pick the COM port; it erases the board and writes the factory image. Also contains the plain .bin for OTA updates through WLED's Manual OTA Update page, the individual flash parts, an esptool variant of the batch file and a NOTICE listing the bundled components and licenses.

Install from source (unchanged)
