Can't wait to install this in my bedroom. Crying with light effects would be so cool

I did this on a TTGO T1 and works beautifully! I'm also surprised at how good and sensitive this is. Thank you so much!

This would have been cool to do back in college for parties.

I love your diy lighting videos! They give me so much inspiration for my own setups! Thanks!

Another Excellent easy to understand tutorial Chris, Really impressed with the sound reactive version. I hope you are all well 👍🏻

This is by far the best video I've seen on this type of stuff. Great video and awesome looking setup. Thanks for sharing.

Another fantastic and easy to follow video! The effects look incredible!

You just became one of my favorite UKpostsrs 😄👍🏼 always love the content. Voice is easy to listen to, love how you get straight to points and don't waste any time. Great videos as always sir.

It's been a while since I played around with sound react, seema to have improved a lot! I just checked, have some parts lying around, my weekend project is set 😀 Thanks a bunch

Followed it, and got mine set up!

I like watching your videos because they are very informative, thought out and good quality. One suggestion which may be a pain to add but the information of light combinations/description would be great. I believe your first sound reactive video had a couple of combos/settings I really like but can't figure out the setting. Possibly a custom setting though. Thanks for the time invested

Love your creativity man, i'm really into RGB Led lighting and this gives me a raging hard-on thinking about all the posibilities for my future house

I love this content so much. Keep it coming ❤️

When soldering the INMP411, it is good to put just a tiny piece of tape on top of the mic hole to protect it from any unfortunate solder splashes or flux if you are using flux core solder.

everytime a new video comes out I have to fight the urge to update my wled setup. This sound react is cooler than i thought. As always, great content my guy :)

Thank you, Sir. As a newbie to LEDs (wled) your content is awesome!!! Such a pity, that your links are only for the US market. I would instantly buy them over those links, because you deserve it!

Impressive as always ! Beautiful! Next it will be camera powered to mimic screens 😮

Please note that some cheaper ESP32 boards can have a mislabeled GND pin next to the 5V pin. It's mislabeled because it's actually 3.3V out, not GND. Happened to me personally on a couple of boards. Great video!

Hi Chris, love the video and ideas! I have 3 ESP2866's running 3 sets of LEDs in my home bar and after watching another video about the reaction difference between the ESP2866 and the ESP32 I'm looking to swap while also adding the mics for sound. In you case, which ESP32 did you use? the ESP32s, the ESP-WROOM-32 etc ? I followed your link to hopefully give you some payback on them but the link is for different ESP32's Cheers

Thanks for the great videos. I am working on a new office setup. Quick question, where do you get those Great Wall papers for your tv?

Chris let me start by thanking you for taking your time and create this helpful videos i been watching few of them to prepare myself for a project. I do have a question about this setups. Can you connect this lights to voice assistant like Google, Alexa or Siri?

Never ever managed to get SR WLED working, followed so many guides, used identical items and never works, watching these videos give me hope... then nothing.

Thanks for sharing this video with us 😍😍 I am already a WLED fan from India and luckily found a small sized business who delivers this controller at very reasonable prices. Been using one for last 6 months and placed another esp32 based controller order just yesterday 😍😍

hi. Chris! That is, indeed, a good sound-active mode and isn't "noisy" or distracting. LOVE IT. Do you know if anyone has ever hard-wired DMX into one of these boards, so that DMX values on given channels can be used to choose from 1-255 given animations, set the look, speed, colour pallete, and/or other attributes of each animation? Or even enable sound mode, and how much it applies to each animation? This sort of thing would need to be incorporated into the code of WLED, I'm thinking.. so that it knows what to do with the data it gets, and what to apply it to, right?

Chris I love your videos and I’m subscribed to your channel and I’m in the process of making my own floor lamps just like the ones you have! 😚 But I’m having a major problem with flickering with sound react as soon as i make the data line longer than a foot or so. How did you have one ESP board control both of your floor lamps without any sort of level shifter or resistor??

Whoa looks crazy amazing! Do you know if there's capability for direct audio input (1/8" stereo jack)? Thanks!

His password : Forever

Question.. is the wiring the same for the mic when connected to a separately powered esp32......Like if the esp32 is powered by a 5v charger?

can you do a toutorial for wiring an aux jack port instead of a microphone? Thanks!!

Thank you Chris. 🙏🏻

Hi, another great video. One question, you combine all the GNDs via the Wago connector, any reason why you do not use any of the other GNDs from the ESP board ?

sweet, gonna set this up right now!

Thanks for such good explanation sir. But I have doubt Is it possible to connect esp32 directly to audio output.

Looks amazing 👍🏻

Amazing!

Thanks for the video and explanation! How do you mount the INMP441? I realized that if anything touches the contact circumference it starts to get signal. I tried to attach the wires with tape, but it also mixed up the signal. Any idea/advice to mount the mic in a waterproof case with the esp32? Thanks in advance

Your videos are making the entrepreneur part of my brain fire hard lol well done

Hey Chris, thanks for the great and easy-to-follow tutorial. One question that I am a little confused about: the strip that I'm powering is a 24v FCOB, and I have the appropriate 24v power supply to go with it. I have the ESP32 board with the mic set up exactly as you show in your video, but I have a feeling that this isn't how it should be if I'm using a 24v power supply. Can you please help me understand how I need to change my setup for this scenario? Would I take off the red jumper cable that's connected to the VIN pin on the ESP32 board? What else?

WLED is one of the best addressable LED control software (or firmware?) out there. It still runs really well even on the older ESP8266 chips. I also like that, with a little playing, you can link multiple WLED devices together so they work like one unit together. Usually, if you need to press a "boot" button when flashing, you need to just press it for a second at the exact same time as you start your firmware upload

Absolutely awesome Chris! I have four ESP D1 Weimos, my issue is they are installed on a board, with buck converters and an additional chip for power/data management. I’d like to add the mic you showcased but didn’t know, can I use pins, that are already in use?

Quick question can I do this exact setup and same effects with a QuinLED-Dig-Quad instead of having 3 separate esp32 for each segment of leds and just have one board do all the segments but also separate each segment to do its own effects like this video

Hi Thanks for video. Please help me for my project I want to attach 36 strip (each strip have 36 pixel led) in parallel with WLED. how to connect all in parallel as there is only one output pin in esp32. i want all same effect at a time.

very nice video, I am going to try this. What are these cool 8 bit style backgrounds?

cool video!! great explaination and steps!

So I’m looking to do a similar set up in my bathroom but it will have 4 separate LED strips. How do you go about wiring multiple stripes? Can you possibly provide a wire diagram?

Hello, thanks for your videos, question, do you know how to turn on the wled sequentially?

Chris quick question.. The strips you have running above and below the screen.. 2 - wled boards? Or 1? Individual power supply for each or both on one power supply? Thanks much.. Love ur work

Great video again clear concise instructions and great quality. Keep it up man. Hey I'm wondering if anyone has figured out if you can use wifi Hotspot for an esp32 with wled installed to control some strips while on the road in a party bus I'm building. Any ideas or leads are greatly appreciated. If I figure out I will keep yall pasted.

Chris! Would you mind telling me where you get the backgrounds/videos you always use for the final videos? I gotta have that one with the rain. Another Great video. I loved the M1 videos I just installed mine.

Super instructive video Chris as per usual, keep up the good work! I was wondering, do you know if it is possible to sync a sound reactive instance of WLED to non sound reactive WLED device? For example, instead of reflashing every WLED device I have, I could only flash one with the new software and sync all the other ones to it.

hey man hope you have been great! you are my go to for WLED! I have a question. I purchased the 3 pin microphone from the previous video when I downloaded the latest WLED 14 release I can enable sound reactive from inside user mods however I am unsure of the pin setup because it only has options for the 6 pin mics. Do I just select generic I2S and then select unused on all but dout?

When you say data split do you mean in parallel? Like d2 pin with left and right lamp hooked to it... or using multiple data ports? Thank you

can we use one esp32 on both, split them as D1 and D2 on board?

Can the mic be turned off when you just want standard lighting effect or do I need 2 separate WLED controllers working with the same light strip?

I know this isn't related but, I've been watching all your vids and love them all! Im currently working on installing HyperHDR for my TV but am having issues while using SK2812 LED's.. Would you be able to make a video on this? Keep up the awesome work!

Awesome. This WLED soundreact works better and cleaner than the Govee soundreact. I have to rebuild it 🤩

mic is external offline or the one inside smartphone?

Hi, can I connect the 3.5 mm audio jack to the ESP32? If yes then please tell me how to do so?

I am really new to LED projects. I am founding hard to find if I can wire the board to the power supply I use for the 24V leds I have. The boards I have seen show 3v or 5v, if I wire it to the power supply, could it be damaged?

Awesome work! Does anyone know of a DMX option? I’ve found a couple online but the boxes are huge. Looking to build something compact and batter powered.

i wonder if this can go with a DMX system for a bar i work at! so impressive!

Hi Chris. Really appreciate your process of explaining. Also this work is so inspirational. I have 4 led strip lengths of 4 mtrs each, installed in louvres (4 lines). 1. Can it be controlled using same Esp? 2. For the best effects should I add them as separate segments (to look like an equaliser kind of effect), in your opinion?

What display are you using

The Merece Soldering Station, does it come with the (slotted) tip you are using?

hello, would you please tell me how to setup sph0645 instead of the mic you used

How do you like that Paris Rhône? I've been thinking about upgrading my projector because I got about 10 years out of the one I have but the wear is starting to show even with a new bulb.

Thanks for the great videos. Do you have any of WLED sound reactive videos that utilize a 3.5mm line-in option? I want to make a build but I do not want to use a microphone since it’s going to be for our very loud Halloween party and don’t want the mic to pick up non-music audio. Line-in would be ideal but I’m lost. Using a line-in break-out board or hat would be awesome but I’ll do whatever I need to to get around the mic. Just curious if you’ve done this since I haven’t seen it in any of your videos. Thanks for everything and God bless!

Can you use an audio out pin? So the audio signal is being used straight from the hifi source? So it won’t react to people making noises?

What case are people using to stuff all of these components in? I'm not using large runs of lights so I don't need a large power supply. Just a 3 amp 5 volt barrel plug adapter. The Max 4466 has several free printable options but I haven't seen anything for i2s mics yet

Hi Chris, Top video as always! I’m wondering whether you have found a way to make WLED react through a line in, like an AUX cable for example. I don’t want my WLED to react to external background noises like a crowd or people talking, I only want it to react to my music so it needs to be connected directly rather than picking up sound via a microphone. Many thanks!

where are you getting the TV images/videos???

Hey Chris, I have found this mic isn't as reactive as yours, unless I've killed it in the soldering process. I really have to make a loud sound close up for it to register. When I touch the L/R pin it lights up into action as I must be earthing it out somewhere. I have plugged the LED Music Controller SP107E and it's far more responsive. Obviously I have less control using the LED Chord app. Is this something you've come accross at all and can offer me some advice?

Is there any downside to flashing a new controller with the sound reactive version of WLED, even if I don’t currently plan to implement this feature? Does the standard version of the software have any advantages over the sound reactive version?

sorry for my bad english.... can i use 3.5mm audio jack port as audio input?

Great video Chris, ya have me hooked now...working on my 1st set up for my sons room... Quick question, I have (2) WS2811 16' strips getting mounted in 2 different locations and going to be using the ESP8266 to control them, do I need to use a separate ESP for each 16' strip and use the Sync in the WLED App or can I use (1) ESP controller for both sets ?

I see a lot of LED strips, and small stand style bars, but I can't seem to find one that's sound reactive to only one color, I want a pulse or beat reactive RED only LED (strip or bar), or do I have to go WLED?

Another interesting video Chris, I had tried using SR based on your older video and for whatever reason, could not get it to work with the Max4866 mic. In this video the ESP32 device that you linked to here is different then the one you had noted in other videos (Dorhea,) will the previous version of the ESP32 chip that you had been linking, (Teyleten Robot), so would the previous ESP32 work as this one does for this setup with the Mic you specified in this video (INMP441)? They do look virtually identical and is a 30 pin like the Teyleten. Would not mind trying SR Again off this is a more reliable config and works as expected with the Teyleten version of the ESP32. You'd think it would, but you never know for sure till someone tries it... Thanks for any thoughts

@Chris Maher can this be connected so the leds still react when muted or running through headphones?

In the Settings > LED preferences > Length you put number of LEDs on the strip. Since you have 2 strips and data channel split, should the number reflect one strip or both? Let's say you have 2x 1m 60leds per m strip, so you put value of 60 there or 120? And what if you have 2 strips on 1 data channel, but they are different length? One longer and one shorter?

Do you think it'd be possible to use WLED to do sound reactive on a single color strip, and have the brightness "bump" up and down to the music with a set minimum?

Can you make a video with WLED beta with audio reactive usermod enabled? This is different from WLED SR fork, afaik. Haven't seen any youtube video on it.

Can this be done with govee rgbic led strips 60 led??

how many strips could i manage with this set up, if more strips were purchased.

Cool project 😀👍 Question: Why are you using version 0.13.3 and not 0.14.0-b1 ❓

does this sync to the tv ?

Where can I find those screen saver?

Love the vids. This one was, as a total neophyte to soldering expertise (my father is turning in his grave), you just made my day by showing something you didn't even talk about! At 2:00 when you are soldering the microphone, I noticed that the tip of your iron has a cut out, that low and behold wraps around the data pin! - As John Cleese would say, "BRILLIANT"! I don't a have any soldering needs today, but after church, I am going to just solder a bunch of pins for the fun of it.... I know, I know.... no life. : ) ha ha ha

I wish this animations available for govee m1

If you ever get the error that it cannot open the port to start the install, what works for me. Open device manager. Find the ESP From advanced settings, change the port. Click no to the reboot prompts and yes to everything else. Then from device manager, disable the device. Do not uninstall it, just disable. Disconnect USB, then reconnect it. Refresh the WLED install page. Then enable the esp32 from device manager again. For me it now is able to connect.

Can you do this without Wi-Fi? I can hotspot my phone but the place I’d be using these would be outside without Wi-Fi around

Whenever I restart the system or there’s a power cut the esp32 doesn’t not connect to my WiFi automatically unless I press the en button on the board and it doesn’t save the last setting or mode changed on the lights Any fix ?

Wonderful. What is the limit to how many LEDs a single ESP32 can support in this configuration? I have a hallway where I would want one, very long strip. Thanks for these videos!

Why not use QuinLed controller for the 3 lights? Better than having to buy 3 separate controllers

Is it possible to "Sync" from one sound reactive WLED to multiple other WLED instances? I listen on whole home audio using a bunch of HomePods/HomePod Minis, so I would like to capture the music using the mic in one of the quieter rooms and have it work on my kitchen/living room setups. I don't imagine having the mic in my kitchen when friends are over will be very successful with all the conversations, cooking, etc.

Question: how did you connect the LED strips as shown in your video ❓

Wie viele Esp 32 insgesamt.. würde das gerne nachbauen. Haben sie einen Schaltplan?

Will it work on WS281X LEDs?

How would one wire this up to accept wired sound output, such as a monitor channel on a sound board instead of using a mic board?

Thanks for the video, do you know a way to hook the sound directly up to a sound source? Like I thought about soldering a headphone Jack to the board instead of a microphone. Do you think this is possible? Thanks in advance for every answer :)
