WiFi LED controller based on ESP8266 with the following features:

  1. Level converter with 4 outputs for 4 WS2812 LED strips
  2. MOSFETs for running one 12V RGB LED Strip
  3. MOSFET for running one 12V White LED strip
  4. Onboard power converters for 5V and 3.3V

Board designed by me. Had a set of 10 boards fabricated by SEEED Studio.

Cool

Why do you need the level converter for the ws2812s? I’m curious, mine run fine straight off the ESP.

@Richard_Vowles I’ve had issues with WS2812s when trying to run them off 3.3v. Sometimes they work fine and other times they don’t. This is just an easy way to ensure they’ll work. Additional cost is less than 50 cents.

OK, that’s good to know!
