Ever since I’ve starting talking about the custom QuinLED-ESP-ABE (Antenna Board + Ethernet) and especially running a QuinLED-Dig-Uno or QuinLED-Dig-Quad together with one of those making it a fully Ethernet […]
What is the max amount of Addressable LEDs per controller? I often see this question pass by in the Discord server and online, how many LEDs can controller X handle?

Pre-Assembled v2 comes with custom integrated DC-DC circuit, DIY v2 will use DC-DC converter from Dig-Uno Normal setup In the normal setup I’ve made for the QuinLED-Dig-Quad_v1 I used 2x Linear dropper (7809 and 7805) in cascade to drop the voltage from 12v to 5v. The upside of this is that it’s cheaper then using […]
Addressable LEDs + Christmas Tree = Great Match! Pairing Addressable LEDs with a Christmas tree makes for an excellent looking match.
