Recording DMX using WLED?

Hallo , I am make a lichtbox as an Art piece,
using a ESP32 to control sk6812 Led RGBW. Sending dmx information art net with madrix* (* Lights pixel, control software)

I like WLED to record on a SD card that I connected to the ESP,32, so I can use the ESP 32
“”stand alone “” (power on triggering play file on SD

The question is, can I record with WLED ?
Is there somebody who can help me with this?

I don’t think anybody has this working yet, although the topic does come up from time to time.
The closest working approach I recall is using something like a Falcon Player (on a Raspberry PI) in conjunction with XLights software to give a standalone playback setup.

It does sound like it should be possible, just haven’t seen anybody complete it.

Thanks for your response

Is the WLED code open source software?
So we can add some code , like recording options?!

Absolutely Open Source, you can add to the work via Github WLED.
There’s a usermod facility that might accommodate your needs, or you build a new direction as others have done.

I’m sure there would be some excitement around work on this idea :smiley:

SD card support is not there yet either, though there have been some people that have hacked that together somehow. You may also want to look at ESPixelStick as that supports SD and .fseq files and such.

Here is an ESP8266 based project that records and plays back DMX:

xLights does have a capture function that works with Artnet and sACN that would let you save the data as a xLights file that you could then play back on a PC running xLights or a RaspPi running Falcon Player.

Not sure how well either works…
