Hardware related question;

Is it possible to run about 2700 cob leds (160/m) with an ESP32?
There will be no fancy patterns, it’s for a stairs project (17 steps). So 17 segments of approx 150/160 leds.

Take a look here:

  • For perfect performance, it is recommeded to use 512 LEDs/pin with 4 outputs for a total of 2048 LEDs.

  • For very good performance, it is recommended to use 800 LEDs/pin with 4 outputs for a total of 3200 LEDs.

Note though with COB LEDs there are many LEDs per pixel, so you may not even need to use multiple channels depending on how many pixels you’re planning.
