WS281x Strings in Parallel/Series Connection with WLED

Hardware
1

Hello WLED Team,

Greetings from India.

I’ve recently completed my first WLED run (connecting ws2812b string of 50 leds), thanks @Aircoookie for this amazing firmware & app this made my interfacing sooo simple & I did it in first trail.

The Project I was planning is for my outdoor front-side of home setup, where I want to connect 20x100 (20 parallel strings of 100 led pixel each) and I want to control this with WLED Segments & Presets as I find this easy-to-get desirable effects.

If anyone here suggest connections, hardware & WLED settings I should use for this project, I’m planning to use ESP32 & 5v 80 Amps Rainproof SMPS for Power supply power to get maximum effects.

Thanks

After reading different blogs online and watching videos on 281x interfacing with esp32 here are few additional details of the project:

  • horizontal length of the project will be around 18/19 feet and planning to place the control unit (controller and PS) at the centre.

  • planning to use 2.5mm wire to PS connections

  • project and CU will be away from my home wifi router

I’m not sure on wire quality for data line, need of level shifter, capacitor for PS, number of PS & injections, number of controller required for the project and configuration in @WLED interface.
