WLED x4 Hat

This is a WLED controller consisting of a "hat" and a WT32-ETH01 module.

The hat has a level shifter, voltage regulator, power LEDs, and fused power distribution. It supports 4 output channels, which means you can control 4 LED strings/strips.

This controller is designed to control "smart" LED strings like WS2811, WS2812, etc. It will NOT work with APA102-style LEDs which require 4 wires.

The controller will come pre-programmed with WLED and it can communicate via WiFi or ethernet. More info about WLED: https://kno.wled.ge/

You can choose to order just the hat without the controller if you already have one.

You can also choose to have the board assembled or in kit form. The surface mount parts are all soldered, it's just the large through-hole parts that you would need to solder. ****NOTE**** If you choose assembly, please allow an extra day or two for us to assemble your board.

Assembly instructions are available here: https://github.com/compukidmike/wled-x4-hat


Outputs:

The numbers by the blue output connectors are the actual pin numbers on the controller. Rather than number them 1-4, they've been given then numbers that you use when configuring WLED.

Each output can control 500-800 LEDs.


Power:

Maximum current through the board is 16A. Each LED string can use up to 5A and has an individual fuse. There is a power LED for each output, allowing you to see at a glance if any of the fuses are blown.

Absolute maximum voltage is 15V, but the board is designed to run on 5-12V. If you're running at 5V, you can place a jumper on JP1 to bypass the voltage regulator, though it's not necessary.


Credits:
This board was inspired by the Quad Ethernet Controller from Wasatch Pixels and the Dig-Quad from DrZzs.
I liked the controller used by Wasatch Pixels, but I wanted to have fuses and power distribution on the board like the Dig-Quad. Since I couldn't find what I wanted, I made my own.

Shipping:
$5 flat rate shipping.
Free local pickup is available in Utah. I'll make a couple Thursday night runs to 801labs or you can pickup in Riverton.
