WLED: Mastering Segments, Multi-pin & Multi-Controller Setups

Take your LED projects to the next level! This video unlocks the power of WLED segments, letting you control sections of your LED display independently. I'll also explore splitting the data signal and using multiple GPIO pins for a single WLED controller. Plus, discover ways to sync and combine separate LED displays and controllers for dazzling synchronized effects. Here's what you'll learn: - WLED Segments Explained: Divide your LED strip and control each section with unique effects and colors. - Advanced Control Options: Explore splitting the data signal and utilizing multiple GPIO pins for expanded possibilities. - Sync Your Lights: Learn techniques to synchronize separate LED displays and controllers for a cohesive light show.
