Hi there!
I am planning an outdoor project which will be as low cost as possible which consist of distributed led strips over 115 meters length wall. I will use 8 ESP32 (each with 4 individual LED strips) and with the distance between each around 30 meters. I will divide them into 3 groups. The groups must be in sync withing themselves (a group of 4 ESP32 must respond to the same pattern at the same time) but the other groups does not need to be in sync with the whole (although it would be good).
I have found some helpful information in this topic however I am finding difficulties in selecting a proper setup. Although I am not a beginner in programming and SoCs although this is my first time properly dealing with LED strips and more complex networks.
In this case, if I don’t have access to the internet, can I use a router, set a regular LAN and sync them all using virtual LEDs and DDP? Or is there a better and safer alternative?
I have seen a lot of recommendations for using ESP-NOW but I could not find a step-by-step guide/tutorial… Can you share some? It only works using the client-server configuration and it is rectricted to the wifi range of the main ESP32 server right? Or can I change this with a router?
If someone can point out some tutorials on implementing Wi-Fi Mesh Networking or ART-NET or sACN in the aforementioned topic it would be great.
Thanks a lot!!!
