Connect to it - the default password is byMtongnz2017 which can be changed later if you wish. Your computer should be able to see a WiFi network called espArtNetNode_xxxxx (the network will have a random number based on the chip's ID). Now that you've got the device firmware installed, we can start getting everything connected. You can also use pre-compiled bin files from my github when they're released. This is much easier then connecting a USB-serial programmer each time. Then goto the ESP web UI, select the firmware tab and upload it there. In the Arduino IDE, goto Sketch->Export Compiled Binary to generate a. The next time you want to flash firmware, you can do so via the web UI explained in the next step. I find a soft reset doesn't always work for me. Once you've flashed the ESP, unplug it for a few seconds before repowering it. I'm not going to cover this here as it's already been covered. Open the source file, connect the ESP8266 and flash it. You can also submit bugs or requests using the Issues tab there or you can post in the comments below.

You can get the latest source code and pre-compiled binaries for this project from my github. There are also earlier schematics available on my github along with a Max485 to Pixel schematic needed if you use this schematic in it's entirety - I bypassed the OK & Max485 in the schematic above for my testing.Д®nsure you have the latest ESP8266 Arduino Core files and the latest Arduino IDE version. It is not quite finalised so the PCB files aren't yet public. The PCB in the photos is of the prototype which I'm currently testing. To finish it off, I ran a strip of black gaff tape to hold the end down and protect the small data connections when I move it around. Wire the data out of the first strip to the data in of the second strip, data out of the second to data in of the third. Wire the ESP to the data in of the first strip. My code will allow a max of 680 ws2812 pixels per port. Make sure you insulate any connections so you don't get a short.Дata can now be connected. If your runs are longer than about 150 pixels, you'll need to 'inject' power along the runs to ensure the LED brightness and colour doesn't suffer. I mounted my fuses to a small piece of perf board to make a basic power distro board. When using such a large PSU, I'd recommend fuses to ensure you don't damage anything if there's a short. I chose to run 3 power lines, 1 per 5m of tape, and each with it's own fuse. Also make sure your ESP location is next to the data in for the first strip. Make sure you pay attention to the data in and data out for each strip - have them alternate to make connecting the data lines easier, ending up in a snakelike pattern. I used the adhesive already on the LED tape to stick it down. I spaced the tape so the LEDs are the same distance apart as they are on the tape. Measure the hole spacing and drill through the MDF - you might want to make a test template using scrap paper first. I used small bolts and standoffs to mount the PSU and PCBs. This gave me 200mm at the side for the electronics and PSU. I had 3x 5m rolls of tape so decided to do 15x 1m strips. Work out the best way to lay everything out. This step is fairly easy but very time consuming.ДЇind a board to mount everything to - I used a 6mm MDF sheet, 600mm x 1200mm in size. I read all the comments I receive and try to reply in a timely manner. Post some photos, videos and comments below to let me know your experience and any suggestions you may have. I apologize for the poor sound quality - I don't have an external microphone and my laptop fans are really loud. The video here will show you very quickly through all of these steps. In the final step, I'll discuss some of the issues I'm currently having and things I'd like to add in the future.

Next, I'll do a quick run through how to patch the ESP outputs into Jinx so we can get some cool effects running. We will quickly look at how I have laid out and wired my 30 x 15 pixels, then I'll show you which settings you need to get the ESP connected. I have written this Instructable to help with some common questions on setting this device up to control WS2812 pixels.

This code is still in beta and there are a few known bugs - and probably a few unknown also. After the success of my last Instructable, ESP8266 Artnet to DMX, I have completely revamped my espArtNetNode code, releasing v2 with new features such as RDM support and WS2812 output.
