The EzloPi smart IoT platform is an innovative solution designed to empower users to create and manage smart home and IoT (Internet of Things) projects with ease. It combines hardware, software, and cloud services to provide a comprehensive platform for building connected devices and automation systems.
With the integration of the WS2812FX library with around 45 effects and over 60 palettes, opens up a world of dynamic lighting possibilities allowing you to create stunning combinations of lighting effects and displays.
The modern UI provides simple and intuitive controls for color, effects, and segment configurations, allowing you to customize lighting to your preferences. Segments enable setting different effects and colors to various parts of the LEDs, enhancing versatility and ensuring seamless integration cycling through the addressable LED setup with the EzloPi smart IoT platform.
Note:
Connect your RGB LED(whether 5V or 12V) strip’s data pin (Din) to RX2 pin (GPIO16) on ESP32 board.
Addressable LED strip | ESP32 |
---|---|
LED Data (Din) | RX2 (GPIO16) |
Following interconnections as shown below are made for interfacing the addressable LED to the EzloPi device:
For LEDs with a 12V power source, a step-down/buck converter is used for converting the 12V to 5V. Make sure that the step-down converter 5V output is stable otherwise try adjusting it using the potentiometer if available.
