    TRy to test SP801E led controller, it can be used as for Matrix and for single lines of rgb lights, Very nice controller But not working with assistants maybe in fuuture updates, But you can attach led matrix set how many pixels you have, or make a line, or even create your own layout, works with ws2812b etc strips and matrix panels, also you can make you own effects, there is a build in app effects which can be mdified and can be written into device mmemory and run without app, you cna create playlists etc, also it has animation tab so you can draw you animation and save it for later, not tlaking about text, plus there is a 3 layers which can be combined toghether, and for some one main feature its support to run like art-net device, so you can you Jinx, resolume arena on it, from PC, sure it will be online but the amount of effects is unlimited, so govee is not capable of doing this. if only govee has like ability to create animations not like prebuild from patterns in which you can only change colors speed etc, it will still stayed the same... I if want f.e. make such effect like: lights are slowly one by one encrease their brightness, and after that all glowing permanently will be cool. The 1 bad thing about sp801e controller all effects a generated with frames, so its like you record animation so it played and after that stop playing, sure you can st it in a playlist for 20 times but still some switching flashes will be visible. Sorry for my english. And this is not ad i bought it with my money... and order another one to put it into the window for New Year animation.

Hopefully in a project down the road I can try! You bring up a lot of great points on the shortcoming of govee and how they could improve things. Thanks again for the comment and hope you have a great day!

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  Год назад

      Hmm, I would first go into led preferences and scroll down and make sure the data pin in the wled program is set for the one you used on the esp board. That's the first thing that comes to mind!

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  Год назад +1

      It's the GPIO number in WLED under led preferences. Let me know if that makes sense. I've always used the d2 pin on the esp device for the data line and that number used to be the default that was in the field after flashing. I think though recently the default number after flashing is now different so you probably have to go in and change it to 2 if you also used the d2 pin like I did.

    Hi there, this is pretty cool. But I was looking for a way to program static letters and numbers. I want to learn how to program and Arduino to scroll writing left to right, right to left, as well as top and bottom. But more importantly, how to get letters and numbers to snap in and out and fade in/out of each other. For example, a countdown from 10 to 1 fade out and in over each other. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks.

    It would be nice to have a "design your own RGBLED pattern" similar to the CCA makers/sponsors. I like the premade forms over individual RGBLED soldering. It makes sense for me to use premade in time and ruggedness. I am working on embedding a cop light on a police bike (red/blue with sequencing). Need it to be all weather, last many hours without a charge and be annoyingly bright.
