For example, what does the binary named ‘WLED_0.15.3_ESP32-S3_16MB_opi.bin‘ reference?
16MB psram or 16MB flash memory? I suppose the later, but am I sure? No.

Additionally, if you have an educated guess:
Do you think it would work on ‘https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008750977454.html‘?

More additionally, about ESP32-C6:
Has someone flashed the firmware on that version and did it work?
16MB of octal flash with PSRAM. that link is dead.
C6 is not supported.
Thanks for clarifying things for me.
Yeah, link seems broken. It says
’ESP32 S3 Development Board ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 Bluetooth 2.4G Wifi Module for Arduino 8MB PSRAM 16MB FLASH N16R8 Dual Type-C 44P’
but that seems to be ok afaik.
I am no expert in those but seems like the correct bin file, if it does not work, it may not be octal flash so you need to compile yourself with a lower speed (qio)
PSRAM size is irrelevant. Always. Flash size determines partition layout, though.
While PSRAM connection QSPI/OPI matters a lot as does flash connection (DIO, QIO, OPI, etc).
Hi. So having an s3 16mb . using the 8mb and 4mb variations will be the same?
16MB of what?
God knows now you said that lol.says N16 R8 on my s3.
Thats most certainly 16M of flash memory and 8M of psram
Not drilling you but what really matter with this configuration in regards to wled?
I think for wled in itself it is quite overkill, because wled works good with less memory and flash.
I bought it, because there is a version with an ipex connector for an external wifi antenna. My project is a battery powered portable casing with all electronics inside and the wleds wrapped around it. I get barely one meter of wifi connectivity with the onboard antennas. And this controller was the first one I saw that could connect to an external antenna.
I have two working fine with normal antenna about ten meters away from router with a wall between them. No issues.
So ou think i should use the 8mb 4mb as it better?
Just asking…
It’s not ‘better’, I think it just doesn’t matter for wled applications. Maybe take whats cheaper, if any, because they all seem the same price now.
Fair enough.
I bought 6 of these last year thinking they where whats needed as i thought wled was expanding feature and explained wise. However I used to get artifacts and some issues with my set up and when I swapped out the generic esp32 for these s3 type those problems went away
Ok, thats an interesting fact. I will keep that in mind and try switching to different controllers if I encounter such problems.
To be specific. You know when you checked all your earth’s and led are randomly still sparking that ls when I tried s3.. things seemed smoother too. Its just good to know all the solutions. Lol. One will work..
What do you use out of curiosity..
