SRGBmods.net Wifi LED Controller

Introduction

The SRGBmods Wifi LED Controller is a wireless DIY (do it yourself) ARGB controller exclusively designed to be used with SignalRGB!

Its base is a powerful - Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect micro-controller that makes it possible to drive up to 600 leds (2 channels with 300 leds max each).

It can be used to control LEDs attached to a WLED-flashed ESP8266/ESP8285/ESP32 receiver!

Important information:

This is public BETA2, so bugs and instabilities might occur!
Currently ONLY WLED-flashed receivers are supported, native SRGBmods WLC firmware will follow.
ESP8266 / ESP8285 and ESP32 are supported, for more than 300 leds in total per Receiver, an ESP32 is mandatory due to memory limitations of the older MCUs
If you are running more than 100 leds off one pin, you are using a lot of pins, or your leds are flickering, you will need a Adafruit NeoPXL8 Friend (Level-Shifter) to step up to the WS2812B's 5V data line logic from the ESPs 3.3V pin logic.
This is provided "as is" while development is ongoing and is meant to be used for testing by advanced users. A full tutorial will follow at a later stage of development.

Feel free to post feedback in the #hardware-diy-channel on the SignalRGB Discord!

Please keep in mind that lots of LEDs will draw a lot of power, make sure to check the specs of the used PSU and calculate the required wattage/amperage for your project.

BETA1 -> BETA2 Changelog:

FIXED random crashing/hanging of Controller!
ADDED using onboard RGB-LED as Wifi connection status indicator! (led is BLUE on startup, GREEN when connected, RED when disconnected)
CHANGED onboard single color led to indicate incoming packets from SignalRGB! (led is ON when receiving data, OFF when not)
ADDED check for WiFi connection status before trying to send UDP packets!
ADDED minor code optimizations!

Global settings

General configuration:

Enable Access Point mode (instead of connecting to your existing wifi network, an own network will be established)

Enable DHCP (your rounter assigns IP addresses, communication via hostnames)

Enable WLED support (use WLED-flashed ESP8266 / ESP8285 / ESP32 as receiver)

Enable Multi Receiver support (data for Ch1 and Ch2 will be sent to different receivers)

Your credentials will NOT be saved on the server, they're solely used to generate the firmware. If you're still concerned, leave the place holder values and edit the downloaded firmware with a text editor to insert your credentials.
