Like any normal #homeautomation enthusiast I just happened to have an ESP32 and a 4 amp 5V power supply laying around. So I bought a couple more strands of WS2811 lights, flashed #WLED on it,and poof! second holiday tree is lit.

Here’s a hot tip from a pro like me to any of you amateurs out there. These ESP32s perform much better when you plug the +5V wire into the 5V pin and the ground into the GND pin. If you put the ground wire on one of the communication pins, they don’t work as well. 😛 Don’t get discouraged. One day you’ll be as smart as me.

Photo of an ESP32 chip laying like a dead spider with its pins up in the air. 3 wires are connected to 3 pins: power, ground, and data. The ground wire is not connected to a data pin. Only an imbecile would do that.

Photo of a small, artificial Christmas tree. It has coloured lights in a rainbow pattern with green at the top on through yellow, red, and then finally green again at the bottom.

Avete presente quelle tv nei supermercati che dietro hanno i led che illuminano la parete in base all'immagine? Ecco, ho trovato il modo per ricreare lo stesso effetto.
Il tutto funziona con un #ESP32 con sopra installato #WLED e una striscia #led #WS2812b e un semplice programma multipiattaforma chiamato Hyperion che si occupa di catturare l'immagine a schermo e trasferirla a WLED. Trovate le guide per entrambi ovunque nel web
