Control using RemoteXY

Hello everybody! And I will immediately apologize for my English…

Thank you Aircoookie for a great project!

I upload my usermod. It allows you to manage your LED using a graphical interface, from your mobile device (Android, iOS) via the remoteXY development environment. This app is lightweight (1.5 Mb), does not use third-party servers, and allows you to use your other controllers.

From the features I implemented:

  • change the brightness and the speed of effects by tilting the phone (G-sensor);

  • switching effects, palettes, displaying their names, color selection, enabling/disabling the preset.

Couldn’t upload the ino file (the limit for a new user)

I’m just starting to learn Arduino, so I’ll be grateful for the criticism/edits.

With respect!

Hi @dima77, how does this work ?

What can you do after that ?
Do you have a video or something that shows a use case ?

  1. Download the library. Connect it to the IDE.
  2. Save the listing in wled06_usermod.ino and flash it.
  3. Download the remoteXY android app.
  4. Connect to your ESP8266 (add Ethernet device, enter IP, default port).
  5. The screen will display what I did in the editor.
  6. You can press the buttons, tilt changes the brightness and speed of the effect

Of course, you can make your own UI. Several design elements to choose from. It is possible to control Arduino:

  • without external servers, inside its network
  • or from the outside (with port forwarding on the router)
  • you can use the remoteXY cloud.
