![]() ![]() Once it’s flashed we will place it on there, the design of the module has the fuse in front of the programming port and this is a conscious decision because dual powering the module (wired input + USB input) can cause damage to either the module or USB port/power supply. ![]() Flashing is done with the Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 off the QuinLED-Dig-Uno. To proceed we first need to wire the Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 module to boot into flash mode. Currently this software is only compatible with an ESP8266 (Wemos D1 Mini) on the QuinLED-Dig-Uno, there is no software available yet for the ESP32. Once that is running we need to prepare the ESP8266 module. If it runs successfully you should see something like this: If you can’t execute the file, check to see if you have Java RunTime installed or otherwise download and install it here. Double click that to install the firmware. Unpack the zip file and in there, there should be a java program called “ESPSFlashTool.jar”. To start, download the latest release of the ESPpixelstick firmware here. But because it’s partly based on the same hardware, we can use that software on the QuinLED-Dig-Uno making it easier to setup! It’s an open-source project that also has its own hardware controller like the QuinLED-Dig-Uno but with a few different design decisions. Although you can make your own arduino sketch for this I like using a pre-compiled package called ESPpixelstick. You need software on the QuinLED-Dig-Uno to receive the E1.31 signal the PC software sends to it wirelessly. There is other software you can use such as Vixen but it comes down to use preference.ĮSP8266 QuinLED-Dig-Uno software (expixelstick) On the PC I’m going to focus on using software called xlights. To accomplish all of this we are going to need to run certain software on the PC and on the module. Let’s just say the uses are very broad!Ĭheck out the following video with some effect demonstrations: This is not only suitable for Christmas displays either, I’m planning some projects in my home and even something more special, but more about those in the future. For a few strip or displays it works great though and you can use one or more QuinLED-Dig-Uno’s to do this! That means that you can design patterns and effects on your PC in software (such as xsplit or vixen) which are wirelessly transmitted in real-time to the QuinLED-Dig-Uno and displayed on the connected LEDs! A lot of christmas displays are run in this manner, although after a certain complexity you might not want to keep using wireless connections because those are limited in capacity. QuinLED-Dig-Uno: xlights tutorial (ESPpixelstick)Īnother way to use the QuinLED-Dig-Uno is using it to run a digitally addressable LED strip or panel controlled remotely using the E1.31 protocol. ![]() QuinLED-ESP32-AE+ (Touch, IR, Microphone, Micro-SDcard, 3x LED channel).QuinLED-Data-Booster(-Maxi) Board Dimensions.QuinLED-Dig boards and using a relay and the vEXT function.QuinLED-Dig-Quad DIY v3 Soldering Guide.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power Supply recommendations.QuinLED-Dig-Quad DIY v3 Revision history.QuinLED-Dig-Quad Pre-Assembled Revision history.Quinled-Dig-Quad: Using a power supply relay.Dig-Octa Powerboard-7HC What’s in the Box?.QuinLED-Dig-Octa System specific example configurations.Dig-Octa Powerboard-7 What’s in the Box?.QuinLED-An-Penta DIY ESPhome Example configuration.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Powerboard Normal vs HC.QuinLED-Dig-Octa PTC “Auto-Reset” fuse option.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power-7HC Power Handling.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power-7 Power Handling.Dig-Octa Powerboard-5 What’s in the Box?.Dig-Octa Brainboard-32-8L What’s in the box?.QuinLED-Dig-Quad Pre-Assembled v3.1 Specifications.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power-5 Power Handling.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power-7HC Specifications.QuinLED-Dig-Octa System Powerboard-7HC Revision History.QuinLED-Dig-Octa System Powerboard-7 Revision History.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Powerboard-5 Revision History.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power-7 Specifications.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Brainboard-32-8L Revision History.Dig-Uno_v3 and Dig-Quad_v2 trial batch info.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Power-5 Specifications.QuinLED-Data-Booster-Maxi Power Injection.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Brainboard-32-8L Specifications.QuinLED-Dig-Octa POE, Switch & Standby power. ![]() QuinLED-Dig-Octa Brainboard-32-8L Pinout Guide.QuinLED-Dig-Octa System POE recommendations.QuinLED-Dig-Octa System Introduction videos.QuinLED-Dig-Octa General Stacking Rules.QuinLED-Dig-Octa System Getting Started.QuinLED-Dig-Uno Pre-Assembled Revision History.QuinLED-Dig-Uno Pre-Assembled v3.1 Specifications.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Powerboard-7HC Ports Guide.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Powerboard-7 Ports Guide.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Powerboard-5 Ports Guide.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Example Stacking configurations.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Brainboard-32-8L Ports Guide.QuinLED-Dig-Octa Relay output & Standby power.QuinLED-Data-Booster Data Signal Conditioning. ![]()
