DUDDEEEEE,,, I did not know buttons had default controls, that's incredible, button 1 does exactly what I wanted, thank you sooo much !

My pleasure friend, I'm glad it was able to help you.

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for making it and breaking down the code meanings … you saved me from a lot of headaches just now. 😂

Just started playing with wled/esp32 and your presentation is the best I’ve come across so far. Liked and subscribed…..and downloaded for future reference…..

Very cool. Love learning new WLED abilities. Need to get me some buttons and play with this now!

@mybritishcomputerguy Месяц назад

Lol, there is a link to some inexpensive ones in the description, thank for dropping a comment!

@PYROWORKSTV 8 дней назад

Is there a way to override the current preset with a different preset as long as the button is pushed?

@Theguyiron 3 месяца назад

Thank u sooo much i have the best idea....

@tsilikasp 14 дней назад

Fantastic!! Is it possible to control virtually those buttons using a smart switch on the wall?

@mybritishcomputerguy 11 дней назад

That's a really good question, WLED does support remote controls, maybe one could be programmed?

@spookyolive День назад

take a look at home assistant. i think wled was originally made to work with it.

I've been following Dr. ZZZ for sometime and he has yet to explain this. thanks for going over it. I am looking to create some custom car light effects and wasn't sure how the buttons would work. I do have 1 question: How does the ESP32 handle power on/off? Will I just be frying boards if I had the setup wired to the ignition and not directly to the battery? Great tutorial and explanation.

@mybritishcomputerguy 3 месяца назад

Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. As far as your ignition setup is concerned. To be able to hook up a board to your ignition system. You would need a buck convertor to drop the voltage down from whatever your ignition system runs at (typically 12vdc) to 5vdc. That way when you power up the board it doesn't fry.

So Great

@ExcitingCreations Месяц назад

Excellent video and really helpful, keep it up! I have a question. I'd like to use a push button to control some SK6812 for desk backlight. Thanks to this video I can easily use the button to also toggle the leds on/off, I am trying to decide whether to also add a toggle switch that handles power for both the leds and the board. Should I just use a single button and keep the board running 24/7?

@Solipsfilm 2 месяца назад

Awesome, thanks for the video! I want to do something similar with a light switch in my house (6 meters away from the esp32 module) would this method work with a longer cable running to the switch you think?

@mybritishcomputerguy 2 месяца назад

Thanks, and that's a great question, I've not tried doing a longer run on a switch wire, give it a try with some wire before installing it and give it a try!

@johnmcclung2101 2 месяца назад

Awesome! Is it possible to program this to do something like a turn signal with an underglow? For example, if I use my left or right turn signals, make just a certain section and color flash with the cars signal. Thank you for the video.

I think good idea button 3 level brightness white & other button for RGB thing for bed side lamp 3D printer. Bit hard setup make 3 level brightness off > 1 > 2 > 3 > off > 1 > 2 > 3 like my bed side lamp. I got crappy bed side lamps with 3 level brightness don't have RGB effects.

@Basnak 2 месяца назад

hi, nice video, can i have a question how can i afford to control independently 2 segments of led strip with 2 push butons-brightness only what API command write to segment preset?

@PavelnePavel 2 месяца назад

Добрый день. Подскажите, пожалуйста, а можно ли создавать условия для пресетов? Например, если нажата кнопка 1, включить один пресет, если кнопка не нажата - включить другой пресет. Спасибо

@mybritishcomputerguy 2 месяца назад

It is, you just assign a preset as the default option when the controller is powered on.

@Devoidv3 2 месяца назад

Are you familliar with the D1 Mini? I put a button connecting ground and pin 4 but after i assign it in the macro it doesnt do anything (i switch to gpio 4 because 3 didnt do anyhting either, also I have it set as button 1)

@mybritishcomputerguy Месяц назад

What version of WLED are you using? I would try using a different GPIO

@FVA1505 Месяц назад

Hello. I really want to make room lighting. Can I stop the effect? I want to turn on the light and see the effect of rushing fire and play of colors and then I want the whole strip to turn on in one color and light up my room. Maybe you can help me with something, I will be very grateful! Thank you!

@RND-USA Месяц назад

Did you figure it out yet? I imagine that you would make the effects you want as presets, then make a playlist of the presets. From there, may need to make a new transitions preset (as he does in this video) and use the API code box to make a code based list of your playlists. Also there’s a youtuber who specializes in led flame effects on here. I can’t remember his name but he’ll show up if you search.
