This is 2-output WLED controller for ESP32-ETH01 distro board for WS2811/WS2812 LED series. The board can use 5v, 12v and 24v LEDs without the need for any jumper, simply use power supply that matches your LED input voltage 5, 12 or 24v. Power on-board module is protected against reverse polarity and each of the 2 outputs are protected by resettable fuses. There is on-board ESP32 microcontroller and LAN controller with RJ45 connector to control LED strings with high throughput.

Power Supply

Board can be powered using voltage that ranges between 5v to 24v, there is an onboard converter that powers the microcontroller and level shifters with stable 5v and user is free to use LED that are 5v, 12V and 24v without the need to set any jumper pins. Board is also protected against reverse polarity, meaning if the power input is connected the wrong way, the board will simply not turn on. However, the connected LEDs are not protected (although LEDs typically will not allow current to flow the wrong way, but efforts should be made to not run LEDs with polarity reversed, or they may be damaged). All the 2-outputs are individually fused with 6A resettable fuses that shuts down output with high current pull and indicator LED come up.

Board Programming

The board has embedded ESP32 microcontroller and comes pre-programmed with WLED (v0.14, most stable version). Connect board to a power source (USB-C or using on-board two pin connector). When using on-board 2-pin power connector, use 5v, 12v or 24v power supply. Using a phone or computer, select WLED-AP in WIFI settings. Configure WIFI and IP address (Use of static IP address is recommended). Scroll down in WLED software to Ethernet Type and select WT32-ETH01 to enable Ethernet, plug in ethernet cable and connect it to your router or network switch.

Specification

Dimension: 88.14mm x 113.93mm (3” x 3.2”)

Weight: 44g (1.5 oz) board and terminal blocks

Connectors: Power Supply – 2Pin 5.08mm Pitch pluggable terminal block

         LED Power and Data - 3Pin 5.08mm Pitch pluggable terminal block

Features:

• Both outputs are protected with Individually resettable fuse, when high current is pulled beyond 6A, the output is shutdown and indicator LED will come up. Output remains down until high current issue is removed or board is power cycled.

• Board distributes both data and power to connected LED strings

• A robust Auto power input voltage 5v-24v, can be used for 5v, 12V and 24v LED pixels

• Board now uses USB-Type-C instead of micro USB port that can used to program connected WT32-ETH01 microcontroller

• Pluggable terminal block for easy connection of power and LEDs

• Logic level shifter converts WT32-ETH01 3.3v to LED 5v

• A 33ohm resistor is placed on each output for impedance matching

· Board can run both WLED or ESPixelStick firmware to process E1.31 and DDP data from xLights, Vixen or Falcon Player
