Me gustó el nuevo efecto de fuego aplicado en la cabecera de la cama

Tengo 6 segmentos divididos en cada difusor aplicando el mismo efecto en las orillas y en la parte de arriba todos con color fuego y el nuevo efecto PS GET 1D

I got those led stip diffusers from Ali-

https://a.aliexpress.com/\_c3QVBJ7n

And a led strip with 60 leds per meter.

But this looks so bad.

I keep seeing people get a new unified strip of light, without it looking like many small leds.

How do I do that?

Did some 12 volt sk6812 strips underneath the kitchen and uptop the shelves.

Also dimmable led spots.

All controlled by 1 gledopto wled controller.

Very happy how it turned out.

I bought a 3d printer last week and have been experimenting. This uses 12 8x8 ws2812b matrix panels (stacked 3 high on each side in a tower formation) and I chucked a few WLED sequences on random for testing.

I'm going to be making an improved version tomorrow with proper smooth curves on the corners to reduce seam/shadowing. Very happy with how it turned out.

This might look like yet another Ambilight post but there's a nice little twist:

I wanted a custom system that is truly headless, without an external grabber software, that is able to decode the various HDR profiles natively, as well as the detection/omission of all black bars, even the nasty Nolan-esque IMAX to 2.35:1 transitions. It even detects and omits the burned-in subtitles.

My requirements were: I didn't want to use an HDMI splitter, grabber or a capture card, and using a camera was absolutely out of the question. Using HyperHDR or other pre-existing software solution weren't an option either. The least hardware possible and a software as simple as possible.

So I created a python service that monitors whenever a file is being played locally on my Plex server. If so, it starts a headless player on my GPU using MPV that syncs with Plex using a combination of predefined offsets if needed, routine sync checks and auto acceleration/deceleration when needed. It gets all the info needed for the Ambilight-style effect and it's then sent directly to my ESP32 using WLED through my LAN. It really is plug n play once it's configured.

I found that this solution is by far the simplest, cheapest and is very elegant in terms of hardware needed: LED, ESP32 (Dig Uno v3), and a PSU, that's it! It uses very little ressources if MPV is played using a GPU or even an Intel QuickSync chip (the headless player uses a 160x90 internal resolution).

Of course you can customize many aspects to your liking through a local web page that I've designed.

The downfall being of course that it is only designed for Plex atm. But that could easily be adapted to other players like Jellyfin if needed. It could also be adapted for PC gaming with a fair bit of tweaking I believe.

It's probably a very niche use case but if anyone wants the source, I've made it available for free here.

It's been a fun project that in the end was much easier than I thought.

TLDR Python+WLED, that's all you need.

EDIT added a "WLED Subtitle" track feature that uses 0% CPU (baked in WLED info for movies). still need to add a frontend for the encoder but the code is now in the repo and working. thanks for the idea /u/BearItChooChoo

Just creating a sticky to guide people to the latest stable version of WLED available.

Announcement & Notes

It is finally here: the WLED team is excited to announce the 16.0 release!

Read the full copy at https://github.com/wled/WLED/releases/tag/v16.0.0

This has been almost one and a half years to finish but be assured it was worth the wait: there are many new awesome features from 59 contributors and it marks a significant point in the development of WLED.

While he has now stepped back from the WLED team, we would like to take this opportunity to particularly recognise the contribution of u/blazoncek. While he chose to leave the development team at the end of December, he was a very important part of the development cycle for this version.

We hope that the new version exceeds your expectations of a free-for-all open source software. We all contributed to this update in our spare time, driven by passion and the desire to make something useful for everyone.

Hi all,

I am brand new to this so apologies in advance if I am not practicing good form on here.

Anyway, I am about to embark on my first journey into the world of WLED. And I think I may be taking on a bit of an ambitious project given I am such a novice.

I am planning on running about 300' of 12 mm pixels on my roofline. That would probably be challenging enough but my roofline is a bit complex and I have no access to the attic. I will admit to be a bit intimidated by trying to figure out how-to run everything so that it works.

The pics attached give an idea of what I am trying to accomplish. I am thinking three runs (red, blue, green) on three outputs of a dig quad. The long yellow section at the back of the house probably won't get done. The yellow section over the front door is the spot that has me the most intimidated. I am not sure how to get that section set up so that animations flow correctly.

I have been communicating with the folks at Permatrack about getting all the components. But I have to say, for such a decent sized order they sometimes seem a bit slow to respond to pricing requests. I asked for a quote on a full package for 350' of track, lights, controller, wire, data boosters, etc + shipping. Ive been waiting a few days now but i guess all the folks on the US side of the border are busy with 4th lf July merriments so thats probably why I haven't heard back. I know shipping to northern Canada will be an expensive pain in the tail but I would like to get things moving so I can get the components and familiarize myself with things a bit before diving into the installation.

Anyway, I am hoping to get some friendly advice that will either convince me to dive into this project or alternatively, come to the realization that I should maybe bite the bullet and hire a pro to do it instead.

Cheers!

It can look very different depending on the color palate that is applied. Super versatile effect.

Eeeee. MIDI-over-USB rather. 🤣

I won't do the deep-dive here, but this is fully bidirectional MIDI communication, only supports the Akai APC Mini Mk2 for now, and absolutely requires WLED-MM-P4 to work because of many architectural changes I've made over the years.

This moves 99% of my workflows to the controller.

I'm most proud of the playlist "chaser" system and also the create/copy/delete preset stuff.

Regular presets are blue (green active), one-shot playlists are cyan, and looping playlists are magenta. If you use my AutoChange system from AutoPlaylist, your "Music" playlist is yellow.

It's built on USB-Host for the P4. It only works on single-USB P4 devices (no internal hub) because of limitations of the IDF, not the code, for now.
