PCB design and fabrication of ESP8266 based controller for WLED.
This project contains multiple branches, each with its own unique use case and form factor. This is the main branch which contains the smallest controller with the least number of additional features.
To get a build this project (or parts thereof), these steps may be followed.
- A download of either the WLED binary or source code that can be compile for upload onto the ESP8266.
- If you want to make changes to the PCB design or would like to generate new fabrication files, an installation of KiCAD is required.
- Manufacture a PCB.
- Upload WLED using ESPHomeFlasher or other programs.
Examples will be given in future iterations of this file.
