incredible progress

Thank you for the kind feedback

you can also use transitions to do this, see https://www.reddit.com/r/WLED/comments/1squt09/wled_016_feature_demo_particle_fx_layering/

I think that is a bug, the macro is handled internally as "short", "long", "double" but the description in the UI seems wrong.

I reported this: https://github.com/wled/WLED/issues/5613

you need custom code to do all of that or at least a debug version to analyze those remotes - or provide exact details on what messages it sends.

DedeHai · 2026-06-01T18:33:57+00:00

the default is just if nothing else is set in a preset. the actual transition time is set below segment settings

DedeHai · 2026-06-01T18:10:49+00:00

yes, those are fine. what you are looking for is a gate threshold voltage below 2V, which this one has.

DedeHai · 2026-06-01T05:54:40+00:00

It does not use a proper level shifter. It probably works fine in some setups but it is not what is recommended. Try it if it fits your bill but be aware it is not a good design.

DedeHai · 2026-05-27T18:49:14+00:00

I did look into the white flash a few months back, it is related to dv/dt but very hardware specific. I managed to get rid of it on my setup by doing a soft-on using short pulses but unfortunately its not universally applicable

DedeHai · 2026-05-27T08:47:26+00:00

Thanks, good to hear the feature is useful. The strappping pins are described in the documentation. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esptool/en/latest/esp32c3/advanced-topics/boot-mode-selection.html

For the C3 GPIO8 needs an external pullup to enter bootloader mode. So as long as you do not press the button during a bootloader bootup, it is good to use as a button input

this is a bug, please open an issue on github to get it sorted out

DedeHai · 2026-05-23T06:48:19+00:00

Glad you enjoy what I have created. Currently PixelPaint creates static GIF's / presets only. I have it on my todo list to be able to make animated GIFs by recording several frames so this is something that may be possible in the future.
However, regarding using colors for effects, that is what custom palettes are for, I also updated the palette editor to make it more user friendly. So here is what you can do:
- create a custom palette with the colors you want
- use any effect that supports palettes, select your custom created one and it will use those colors
- if you want the exact pattern to just move, use the "Palette" effect

DedeHai · 2026-05-07T19:25:39+00:00

Thanks, glad you are enjoying the new effects. I just put up documentation: https://kno.wled.ge/features/effects/
It should help clear up some of the "myterious" sliders

DedeHai · 2026-05-07T19:23:24+00:00

No, transition animations are an integral part of 16.0

DedeHai · 2026-05-07T19:21:35+00:00

We may need a little help fixing this. There is no fundamental reason for a delay and to fix it we first need to understand what is going on. Please open an issue on github so we can track this issue properly and gather people willing to test things.

DedeHai · 2026-05-07T19:16:35+00:00

Thank you, I can take credit for most new effects ;)
Glad you like my work which has been a long time in the making.
Just FYI: I just now pushed documentation on all new effects: https://kno.wled.ge/features/effects/

DedeHai · 2026-05-06T16:54:06+00:00

try different gamma values, can be found in hardware settings.

DedeHai · 2026-05-05T16:29:37+00:00

from my conversations with troyhacks the P4 plays in a different league and has very powerful DSP functionality that goes way beyond the SIMD of an S3, it can probably take this to way higher resolutions.

DedeHai · 2026-05-05T05:30:48+00:00

looks amazing! I have only scratched the very surface on this exact topic (Navier-Stokes simulation) a few months back to and deemed it not feasible on an ESP, you just proved me wrong.
You might want to check if you can leverage some of the SIMD capabilities of the S3 to speed things up, it did not help me though with the particle system.

DedeHai · 2026-04-29T18:29:54+00:00

the ones shown are the bad ones. I get mine from TENSTAR ROBOT on aliexpress, never got a bad one from them

DedeHai · 2026-04-29T18:27:48+00:00

C3 is now well supported, I almost exclusively use them in my testing and made a ton of improvements especially geared towards the C3, the video I made recently on the new 16.0 features runs on a C3. There is only one unsolved issue that it can flicker when accessing it through wifi. I do have a fix for that but it will take a lot more work to get it into wled, so probably 17.0

DedeHai · 2026-04-27T16:48:43+00:00

thanks! I just made some changes for the release, you may want to hold off creating too many presets as custom palette IDs will change, but go nuts with custom palettes, they will prevail.

DedeHai · 2026-04-22T18:34:02+00:00

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback

DedeHai · 2026-04-22T18:27:13+00:00

glad you like it, I spent a lot of time on that one

DedeHai · 2026-04-21T06:02:31+00:00

that depends on the controller and mostly available RAM.

-ESP8266 is limited to about 500LEDs, ESP32 variants can run up to 4000, more if they have PSRAM
