Firmware for the ESPixelStick

ESPixelStick Firmware

This is the Arduino firmware for the ESP8266 based ESPixelStick. The ESPixelStick is a small wireless E1.31 sACN pixel controller designed to control a single strand of pixels. Pixel limitations are mostly based upon your desired refresh rate, around 680 pixels (4 universes) for a 25ms E1.31 source rate.

Supported Pixels

• WS2811 / WS2812 / WS2812b
• GE Color Effects

Requirements

• Adruino for ESP8266 - https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

Known Issues

• Gamma value is ingored. pow() is currently broken in the ESP8266 Arduino environment, so gamma tables cannot be generated.
• Some fields do not validate input. Need to add validation routines to the web configuration inputs fields.

To-do

• Add softAP configuration mode.
• Add mDNS and DNS-SD support.
