“After the success of my last Instructable, ESP8266 Artnet to DMX, I have completely revamped my espArtNetNode code, releasing v2 with new features such as RDM support and WS2812 output. This code is still in beta and there are a few known bugs - and probably a few unknown also. I have written this Instructable to help with some common questions on setting this device up to control WS2812 pixels. We will quickly look at how I have laid out and wired my 30 x 15 pixels, then I’ll show you which settings you need to get the ESP connected. Next, I’ll do a quick run through how to patch the ESP outputs into Jinx so we can get some cool effects running. In the final step, I’ll discuss some of the issues I’m currently having and things I’d like to add in the future. The video here will show you very quickly through all of these steps. I apologize for the poor sound quality - I don’t have an external microphone and my laptop fans are really loud. I’d love to see how you use this. Post some photos, videos and comments below to let me know your experience and any suggestions you may have. I read all the comments I receive and try to reply in a timely manner.”
