WLED & ESP32: The Dynamic Duo of DIY LED Projects

In this video, we will show you how to set up WLED for your LED lighting project using an ESP32 microcontroller and an ElectroCookie board for the breadboard, and then install everything into a 3D printed enclosure. We will explain the hardware components you need, including the ESP32 and ElectroCookie board, as well as the LED strip, power supply, and connectors. We will then guide you through the process of assembling and wiring everything together on the breadboard. Once the electronics are set up, we will demonstrate how to download and install the WLED firmware onto the ESP32 microcontroller. We will also explain how to configure the firmware settings, including WiFi connectivity and LED strip layout. Finally, we will demonstrate how to mount the components into the 3D printed enclosure. This setup is perfect for those who want to experiment with custom LED lighting projects and want to create a sleek and professional-looking installation. 0:00 - Introduction 0:50 - How to Wire WLED and ESP32 for Custom LED Projects 9:40 - Powering your WLED Project 14:00 - Enclosure Installation 15:00 - Mistakes were made! 15:36 - Installing the sound MAXX4466 16:42 - Flashing WLED Firmware onto the ESP32 19:15 - Powering up WLED for the first time 19:32 - WLED Configuration and Tips 24:56 - Wrap Up & Final Thoughts Wiki Page for this project Products & Models used in the video Shop the Makers Mashup Amazon Store Community Discord Was this video helpful for you?
