WLED: How to setup and configure WLED
WLED is an awesome open source application created to control addressable LEDs (WS2811, WS2812b, WS2813, etc) from your iOS or Android smartphone, or literally any device which can send a command via http/https over a network! It runs on the ESP32 platform of microcontrollers, which although similar to the Arduino is different but mostly compatible […]
Building a YouTube Studio Set
I’ve always wanted a dedicated studio room and set for the talking portions of my videos. For years I have resorted to setting my camera up in the hot garage, in my kitchen, or even just in front of my computer in my home office. Well no more! Today, The Geek Pub is building a […]
Controlling WS2812b LEDs with a Raspberry Pi
In our last article we discussed how to wire WS2812b addressable LEDs to a Raspberry Pi. Of course, just wiring them up doesn’t really do much. Not even a single LED on a WS2812b strip will light until you send it a command to do so. So in this article we will continue on with […]
Wiring WS2812b Addressable LEDs to the Raspbery Pi
I don’t know where I have been recently, but I stumbled across one of the greatest inventions of all time recently: Addressable LED strips. Addressable LED strips, sometimes known as NeoPixels, or by various numbers such as WS2812b LED strips are LED lighting strips where each individual LED can be controlled via a specialized lighting […]
