ESPixelStick - Wireless DMX Pixel Controller Kit

When I received item it would not power on. Contacted seller whom responded quickly to get my issue resolved quickly. This controller is definitely worth the price for it's size and function. Will absolutely buy more as my needs require! I first bought one a few years ago (first review above). I have since purchased a couple more of the latest revision. These are much simpler to program. I’m using them to run 2 Light-O-Rama controllers in DMX mode. One controller is controlling the lights on my neighbors house next to mine, the other is across the street. Best solution for the price. Have not had any issues!

I own sereral of these sticks from V2 hardware to V3 and they are the easiest way to get pixels on props wirelessly. I never had issues programing them on windows, linux, or mac. You just have to pay attention to the instructions, your hardware requirements, and if you can follow the github on the fireware so you understand how to program it. The java tool is very easy to use. If you not novice in IT or computer related projects you will have an hard time understanding basics but once you do its easy peasy! The firmware also works with ESPixelNods from Jboards as well.

I read the reviews and was very skeptical. For $20 I would take a chance and it paid off. This is an amazing little device (it fits inside a 1" PVC pipe). The manufacturer reminds you that will need a USB programming cable (carried by Amazon as well) so I purchased the one they recommended. I did have to use a newer version of the beta software to program the ESPixel Stic, but after that it was a breeze. The manufacturer (Shelby) answered all my questions through Facebook, even with the threat of the imminent hurricane in his area. Awesome product, I will be purchasing more of these and have been recommending these to friends. I still can't believe this tiny board will control over 600 Smart LED's with just voltage in and a wireless signal.

These are awesome. The creator did a fantastic job with these. Not only do you not have to solder or buildit yourself (I've built several), but other than programming it's ready to go. Even without having a controller tied to it, I have my indoor christmas tree running off this using the "Rainbow" test mode, works great and allows you to do something custom for lights vs the old standard.

Easy to use!

Great product. You can use the espixel stick firmware or WLED firmware. With the espixel stick firmware you can synchronize your lights using xLights. With the WLED firmware you can easily integrate it with home assistant. I am currently using it with WLED, to control some flood lights for my pond. One of the lights is underwater and working great.

I do like the product. If you actually look a bit you can find eg: google.com all the software and instructions you need. At a poultry $35-36 I would not bitch to much if you can not find answers in google. I have 3 running at work for over a year with no issues to recall. I am playing with some other external antenna options that may increase wifi range which is limited on this imbedded wifi module but this "was" expected on a $35-$36 unit. Running on a FPP setup on rpi4b as scene controller FYI: the seller helped me with a goofy acting wemos module " a +++" Overall I am happy with the results. To remember: SSID with password! wifi extenders if needed! Things I want: Lan RJ45 version! External Antenna! Overall for my purposes I give a 8/10 rating in hardware setup and longevity.....!!!!

The v3 is well-built, with great support documentation on the developers website. Comes with a handful of built-in effects and/or allows for control via several options (HTTP web server, sACN, MQTT) with a few different output protocols supported. The form factor is small enough to be useful in many applications. Makes a great wireless (802.11b/g/n) sACN-DMX node. Be sure to review all instructions from forkineye before purchasing and again before flashing. Highly recommended.

I like the size, wifi and discoverable by xlights
