Hey all! Ive been working on this project for the past year, and Ive finally settled on a software and hardware package that can rival some of the more expensive Art-Net and sACN controllers. With a hardware revision that now supports resettable fuses, variable input voltage, hot-swappable plugs, and reverse polarity protection, I am more than confident that the node will appeal to LED-strip enthusiasts out there! For the non-professional, tinkerer, DIY geek or Christmas nerd, this node is a game-changer!
So, in short, what does it do?
- 16 universes over 4 outputs, so 2700+ RGB leds in total!
- Support for WS2812 type (800khz) and SPI driven leds (SK9822, apa102), so basically any LED-type on the market!
- RGB, RGBW, and RGBAW colour arrangement support
- Ethernet and wifi capable
- Fused Integrated power distribution up to 5A per output and 20A total
- With a 5~24v variable input, this means almost 500W of power!
- OLED display for status updates
- Hardware button to change between different modes (DHCP, Static IP, Static colour, Test pattern)
- But, most importantly, completely open source! Every piece of the software and hardware design is available for you to tinker with!
Now, let me know if you have any questions about this project! Before I see comments about WLED: Yes, WLED does Art-Net and SACN, but performance is worse at a maximum of ~9 universes, and IMO WLED setup is a lot more complicated. This node is straight to the point and ready to use with Art-Net out of the box!
