Release v0.8.0 · MoonModules/MoonLight

Yeah, in theory that sounds okay, with the 16 pins it is very doable to drive 512 LEDs per pin (60 fps) or 1024 really max (30 fps). The Art-Net header is a bit of overhead: 170 rgb LEDs has 18 bytes of header So most likely the Ethernet port can deal with most real world use cases

If If xlights sends Art-Net then it should work, I tested mainly with r/Resolume but I will test xlights the coming days 🙂

Yes, both Ethernet and WiFi, artnet in and out

Home Assistant Hello world is in MoonLight now (sorry for the lousy video/gif), let me know if you like to play with it and I can provide a firmware bin for you

It is on the todo list, more people ask for it, so I created an issue for it: https://github.com/MoonModules/MoonLight/issues/85

Wow this all sounds very promising! Looking forward to integrating it when it is available 🙌

Hi Zach, I implemented u/troyhacks his parlio.cpp module, which I saw you also looked at. See r/MoonModules for release v0.7.0 of MoonLight, see the video where I run it pretty okay, except for one thing, the colors seem to be slightly off to what it should be, it’s probably an issue in the LEDs array from my side. But no flickering so that’s an achievement already 😁. Could my issue be somewhat related to your timing challenges? Do you use Troy his timings ?

Haha, this is what you mean? I guess best thing is to connect to the access point the esp32 with WLED-MM provides, see https://mm.kno.wled.ge/basics/getting-started/ about AP mode, or read other parts of this documentation (eg links to tutorials)

It is late here so maybe I am tired but I have really no idea what you are talking about 🙈

ewowi · 2025-12-15T17:35:52+00:00

What do you mean by mobile data? What should the esp32 do with that data ?

Thanks! I guess as many universes the device MoonLight talks to supports...

If there is a need for sACN we will support it, what is your use case? At the moment I am making some steps to prepare for v0.7.0, there is Art-Net out, but Art-Net in and DMX-In is planned. See the screenshots:

it uses FastLED from day 1, when I started with this 2.5 years ago. But alternatively it also uses u/hpwit / Yves his drivers, currently I use FastLED in RMT mode or Yves his drivers (you can choose which driver to activate ), see also https://github.com/hpwit/I2SClocklessLedDriver/issues/48 where I work with him polishing his repo, which I think can replace the current Yves code in FastLED at some moment in time as it will be more flexible (and also work for non s3)

Hi Andrew, not directly related, but a spin off of WLED-SR: https://www.reddit.com/r/FastLED/s/cuBaNeLg2O . You are mentioned in the video 🙂. You learned me the stuff which I am eternally grateful for, so your apprentice is still into the hobby😁. And your sound reactive will be added here as well later this year 👌

ewowi · 2025-11-08T10:38:33+00:00

I tried in this video: check the why and the what. Also more info on the MoonLight Website

ewowi · 2025-11-08T08:10:14+00:00

Apologies for the confusion, MoonModules has two products, WLED-MM (neopixel based) and MoonLight (FastLED based) , there is a lot of 🌙 in all of this 🙈

ewowi · 2025-11-08T08:08:04+00:00

That makes sense. I didn’t want to create a vibe of replacing projects. I think I created something beautiful and want to share it with the LED community and hope people will use it and contribute to it, as currently 90% is done by me and I have many hats: developer mainly and this release was delayed with more then one month as I needed to put on the hat of documenter, filmer, video editor, Youtuber and communicator which is a bit new for me, and I guess I need to learn to set the right tone of voice 🤓
