ABC! WLED controller board (5-24V)

Product information "ABC! WLED controller board (5-24V)"
(Shipping only to: DE, PL)

Description of the WLED Controller Board V43:

With this product, for example, a string of lights or lighting system controlled via WLAN can be set up. It is based on an ESP32 microcontroller. To set up a chain of lights or lighting system, a power supply unit and one or more LED strips are required in addition to this product. The following LED types are supported: WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, SK6812(RGBW, RGBNW, RGBWW), APA102, WS2801, WS2811, LPD8806, WS2814 RGBW, COB-RGB WS28xx, WS2805 SPI RGBCCT (as of WLED 0.15.x), APA106 (as of WLED 0.15.x). 5V, 12V and 24V LED strips are supported.
The controller essentially consists of an ESP32-WROOM-32E (4MB) module, backup capacitor and an SN74AHCT level converter to ensure trouble-free operation of the LEDs.

New is revision 3: prepared for Ethernet adapters (available separately in the shop).

This product is delivered pre-programmed with the following open source software for testing purposes: https://github.com/atuline/WLED (Sound Reactive Fork of https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED) (SW licenses here)

Wiki (in English) for this open source software can be found at: https://kno.wled.ge

A helpful WLED FAQ can be found at https://wled-faq.github.io/

Attention: the voltage of your power supply must always correspond to the voltage of the LEDs!  For example, for 12V LEDs you need a 12V power supply.

Usage information: WLED_V43_Controller_Usage_Info.pdf

Attention LED strips with Clock signal: depending on LED type you would eventully need to reduce the Clock from "Normal" to "Slow" in LED preferences for stable operation of the strip.

Attention analogue, non-addressable (PWM controlled) LED strips: additional hardware is required as described in WLED FAQ, section "LED strips", question "How do you control analogue LED strips?".

Scope of delivery:

  • WLED controller board, tested and pre-programmed

Accessories available separately:

Advantages of our WLED controllers:

  • We use stable, correctly dimensioned voltage converters with a margin to ensure stable function even with rather difficult power supplies
  • Our WLED controllers have extensive plug & Play interfaces. This allows for a clean setup without “tangled cables”
  • We use high-quality, industrially manufactured and assembled circuit boards. This is an important component for the long service life of our WLED controllers
  • Our WLED controllers are equipped with original ESP8266 / ESP32 modules from Espressif that are qualified according to technical standards. No cheap and questionable replicas!
  • We only use fast level shifters and EMC filters at outputs to generate perfect control signals for LED strips with improved EMC properties
  • The power path in our WLED controllers has been extensively tested and high-quality screw terminals are used, which guarantees the specified current carrying capacity and long service life
  • Our WLED controllers include various safety measures: fuse in the power current path, protective circuitry in the electronic part
  • Our WLED controllers are tested and pre-programmed before delivery. This makes an easy WLED start possible
