Major Version Upgrade
New Features & Improvements
- Multisegment Support: Added support for multiple segments for WS2812B/SK6812 LEDs. The maximum number of segments depends on the specific board's technical specifications.
- ESP32 Renderer: The default Neopixel renderer for all ESP32 boards now uses an SPI driver with DMA.
- ESP32-C5/C6: Introduced a dedicated PARLIO driver with full multisegment support.
- ESP32 & S2/S3/C2/C3 Ecosystem:
- Upgraded ESP32 and ESP32-S2 cores from Arduino-ESP32 2.x to 3.x.
- Migrated to my custom, asynchronous fork of the Espressif
led_striplibrary, featuring multisegment support via SPI and RMT.
- Raspberry Pi Pico: Transitioned from NeoPixelBus to my Picolada rendering library (HyperSerialPico) with native multisegment support.
- Power Management: Added support for power-relay control.
New Hardware Support
Initial support for custom boards equipped with Ethernet controllers and/or power relays:
- GLEDOPTO: GL-C-015WL / 016WL / 018WL
- DOMRAEM: WLE-ADM
- Athom/IoTorero: Ethernet WLED ESP32
Bug Fixes
- RP2040/RP2350: Fixed OTA updates by expanding the user partition. Warning: Upgrading to this version will reset your current configuration!

0.0.2-beta
Summary
Fixed a critical issue where SK6812 RGBW LEDs failed to render correctly on platforms using FastLED (ESP32-C2, C3, C5, C6, and S3). The fix addresses flawed RGB-to-RGBW memory workarounds by enforcing correct 4-byte data alignment within the library's native 3-byte structure, ensuring stable and accurate color output for these specific hardware targets.
Added a new button to the Network settings section to reset SSID/Password and force a switch to AP mode.
Fixed a critical bug in SPI initialization when using the NeoPixelBus library across ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP8266, and Pico platforms. Additionally, all supported platforms underwent a comprehensive review specifically to ensure stable and correct support for APA102/DotStar LEDs.
Every driver has been verified through a full round of physical testing, and with this hardware validation complete, the project is now transitioning to the Beta phase.
Key Changes:
- Fix RGBW management: Resolved FastLED RGBW issues for ESP32-C2, C3, C5, C6, S3 boards
- Fix SPI LEDs: Resolved SPI driver initialization issues for Pico, ESP32, ESP32-S2, and ESP8266
- Fix Default GPIOs: Corrected SPI defaults for ESP8266, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, Pico, and ESP32-C6
- Rendering update: Changed NeoPixelBus Neopixel rendering methods for ESP32
- Pico Support: Enforced mandatory restart on Pico boards after LED configuration changes
- ESP32-ETH01: Fixed SPI LED stability and rendering
- Update recently added boards: Added FastLED SPI LEDs support for ESP32-C2 and ESP32-C5
- Network UI: Added button to reset WiFi credentials and switch to AP mode
