I read that a potentiometer can be used to control brightness and effect intensity, but I 'm wondering if palettes, presets, and effects can also be stepped through. How would that be set up? If using buttons, I know the macro to step through effects would be &FX=~ to go forward and &FX=~- to go bac…

What you need is rotary encoder. Perhaps paired with OLED display. Both supported by WLED via existing usermods.

you would need a usermod to do that, I don’t think it exists yet. but you could use a rotary encoder.

Thanks @dedehai . My motivation is to be able to control as many of those elements as possible, in both directions. Since there are a max of four buttons available, I could only do two with a up and down button, hence the potentiometer. As far as user mods go, I wouldn’t mind having a go at it, but …

Not that I don’t love overkill :slight_smile: , but a knob for each function would be way easier for the average person than an up / down button for each function, or less attractive, the short and long press per function variation. I plan to have an IR remote, and there’s always app control, but I…

I’d definitely be interested in both, but like I mentioned above, I’m having my struggles with VSC and Platform IO. Is that something that anyone might be willing and able to assist with? What functions can be controlled with rotary encoders? What can be displayed? Edit 1: I see that encoders com…

you can get binaries from @srg74 or @wladi_wled @srg74 also sells controllers featuring rotary encoder and OLED display

[image] blazoncek: @srg74 also sells controllers featuring rotary encoder and OLED display I’m into being self-sufficient as much as possible, but it is interesting. @srg74 : can you give me some details? [image] blazoncek: you can get binaries from @srg74 or @wladi_wled Do these buil…

As of right now esp32 dev board is postponed due to luck of parts.

[image] Daro66: Which category would be best to ask for help with Platform IO? So, looking at this , I redownloaded the WLED0.15-b5 sources and was able to compile the binaries as expected. [image] [image] After creating and editing the platformio-override.ini, clicking the check does not…

wled allows you to increase the number of buttons if that is what you actually want.
