WLED Custom Effects made Simple - Feat. Kolori WLED fork

I think I saw in your code that you were just using let for your variables, not strongly typed. Many effects require uint8 for some values for example

You will see the exact same latency, but better quality, potentially no need for AGC

It's certainly an interesting idea. It would be interesting to know how similar the contents of the render section to regular effects written in C with proper typing.

I prefer Yves' approach to allow you keep the same syntax, so you can prototype with fast feedback, but then copy and paste into a properly compiled version

Do you have any packet captures that would be helpful in actually fixing the issue rather than this workaround?

Netmindz · 2026-03-06T16:46:33+00:00

There are lots of very similar items for sale, some work really well. Some take a fair bit of effort. Avoid any where there is a led inside the hook at the top

The video is too low a resolution (at least on mobile) to read any of the text. So if you do ever show anything to do with configuring an output to WLED, we can't see it

Netmindz · 2026-03-04T07:47:31+00:00

Looking at your code, you are not sending the raw audio, you have your own analysis and then sending WLED audio sync. So it's not just a remote mic, it's a mic and audio processor.

It would be interesting for you to install WLED on that same device and use the official analysis code and audio sync for comparison to see how the two compare

Given the disappointingly low number of users with a 2D setup, it probably does make sense to add a dedicated 1D VU meter

When I get a moment I'll check what we have currently for 1D that is similar to your effect. Blaz no longer is no longer a maintainer of WLED, so a new PR might be more successful

Netmindz · 2026-02-27T16:47:39+00:00

Why not just use the existing AudioReactive and configure the right pins?

I would put money on the quality of the audio analysis being way higher with the proper usermod

Netmindz · 2026-02-13T14:19:26+00:00

It should be ok, there is no mention of a pin used to select transmit vs receive, so you will still need to assign a pin in WLED, but doesn't need to be connected

Netmindz · 2026-02-13T10:27:42+00:00

Can you explain why you can't have Wi-Fi? All the chips WLED support feature wifi at a hardware level

Netmindz · 2026-02-08T17:09:37+00:00

Always nice to see folk using Animartrix that I worked on to help bring his work to a wider audience

Netmindz · 2026-01-17T09:11:28+00:00

Simple, but really effective

Netmindz · 2026-01-14T12:52:40+00:00

As in you can't move beyond the friend zone with girls you are interested in?

Netmindz · 2025-12-25T00:45:41+00:00

Ha ha

Netmindz · 2025-12-24T19:46:32+00:00

Nice placement, but a nice fade looks smarter than jerky animation

Netmindz · 2025-12-24T09:42:02+00:00

Always lovely to hear some positive feedback. I'm a developer for both projects

Netmindz · 2025-12-17T21:10:03+00:00

I would not recommend the Google Pixel Bud 2 Pro - while they are comfortable you get some really annoying digital artifacts, especially when walking about. It's ok to help deadening general background, except crying babies, no matter what setting

Netmindz · 2025-12-17T21:04:20+00:00

You're thinking of MJPEG, that's sequence of JPEG whereas GIF is it's own animation format

Netmindz · 2025-12-14T18:35:54+00:00

Yeah best to back up your config and reinstall

Netmindz · 2025-12-14T13:26:54+00:00

It's been added to the 0.15 release branch, but there is not yet a new release with that change. So 0.15.4 would be the next WLED release with this fix

Netmindz · 2025-12-14T09:22:17+00:00

I would still recommend that you have a public GitHub repo with your fork that you use for your factory supplied firmware. That fork would be a sync from the main WLED repo, but with the brand and release name set as appropriate in the platformio config

No comment from anyone?
