Great project, I put two of these together this weekend but have a question.
I’m using 8 panels just like the pictures and I have zone1 occupying the left-most panel, with zone0 occupying the remaining 7. If I use one of the characters in zone1 that uses the right-most column of LEDs in that panel combined with scrolleffect, when the sprite returns to the left, it erases that last column of LEDs until the next refresh redraws it. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hello and congratulations on this project, it is really gorgeous, however I would like to find a way to scroll the longest words for a 4 unit dotmatrix, I am searching on the net but I cannot understand how to do it. Has anyone succeeded in doing it?
1. fully rewritten code, fixed WDT errors
2. Web UI for Wifi configuration (all settings in UI)
3. Web UI for configuration
4. 3 work modes: MQTT client, Wall clock, Manual send text
First boot:
Device will boot in wifi access point mode and write the wifi name and password on the display.
AP wifi name: wled-AP
AP wifi password: 12345678
Connect to this AP and configure your wifi settings (connect to your wifi network)
When the device connects to the WIFI network, the device’s IP address will be displayed on the zone0
Open Weather Map client support. Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Wind speed, and weather icons are supported to be displayed in a separated display zone.
Added +1 work zones. Now supports 3 workzones.
Support 12 display segments (3 panels with 4 segments each)
New display font
For Open Weather Map you need to issue your own free API token.
I thought that finding the city ID is difficult and easier to write the name of the city. But I forgot to add on the page that you need to enter the name of the city.
In your case, it should be Landrum, US.
I also want to note that the free OWM API allows you to make requests no more than once every 60 seconds, otherwise you will be banned. I advise you to change your interval from 10 seconds to 60.
Very nice project, I’m waiting for components and I’ll build.
I have a question: I assume that the display is powered from an external 5V source. What is the current source load for 8 LED modules? Or what power supply do you use?
I do not use a separated power supply for LED modules. In my setup, I have one 5V 1A USB power supply and connect it to an ESP board (wemos d1 mini) and 8 LED segments are connected through ESP. Everything works well even at maximum brightness.
Thank you for a quick response.
Last question: If I understand correctly, I’ll upload a bin file using esphome-flasher, for example, on win10 PC. Then I connect to his network using, for example, a phone and set up my LAN. And it is done?
Yes, you are right. After you will open the device page in the browser by device IP which will be displayed on the device LEDs and configure your integrations and display parameters.
Thanks for your work, I really appreciate it. I had already used the old version of wLed, now I’m trying the new one but i noticed that the controls and effects no longer work, maybe the keywords have changed? I can only set effects for all texts directly from the web interface, but I need to alternate as I publish via mqtt. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thanks for your feedback! MQTT currently only supports displaying text. Management via MQTT is not implemented.
But I’m currently working hard on a new version that will have all the MQTT functionality from the first version.
Also in the new version it will be possible to take the value of the sensors directly from the Home Assistant.
The new version will be released in the coming days as soon as I finish testing.
The increased interest in the project accelerated development. Meet the new version with Home Assistant support, a new font with elegant numbers, and support for a large number of new MQTT topics!
