Hardware
To get started the minimal you need is an esp32-device connected via USB to your computer and a LED-strip or panel connected via 3 wires to the vcc, ground and a supported GPIO pin of the esp32 (e.g. Pin 2). An ESP32-S3 is preferred as it has more memory to support large setups and Live Scripts.
ESP32-D0
Currently normal ESP32-devices (ESP32-D0, devices without PSRAM) are low on memory if MoonLight is installed. Therefor ESP32-D0-wrover or ESP32-S3 is recommended.
Minimal hardware
- One of the ESP32-devices shown in MoonLight Web Installer. ESP32-S3 N16R8 recommended. Optional Expansion board 44pin
- Any WS2812 LED strip or panel. 256 LED panel recommended.
- Connect the ESP32-device with USB to your computer, connect the LED strip or panel
Above is the minimum requirement to have lights burning.
Recommended hardware
The M5Stack AtomS3R will be used to offer 'MoonLight in a box'. It is perfactly usable to drive Art-Net. To drive LEDs a few more components are needed:
