So i bought a floor lamp, similer to the hue signe lamp, its segmented but i dont know if wled would be a good option for it or what controller would be a good option, it has 4 pins

Look at Quinled DIG series. They are the best ESP based controllers.

Watching a video on the dig-uno so would i use all 4 connecters here, in the video he only used 3 but since mine has 4 pins, that means all 4 on those right? At. Least if I understand it correctly

Whoa lots of options, any specific ones you recommend for 4 pin led? Just so i don't have to look in the all of them, also, i can't find any info about the lamp online, so it's hard to find out if it's rgbw but I think it is

You can start with the Dig Uno if you want expandability, or you could get a dig2go and just use a usb-c power supply
Oliper202020@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
But it looks like the dig2go only uses 3 wires
CmdrShepard@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
And it's only 5V IIRC. Your lights may be 12V (check the power supply). Honestly you can just run it off a bare ESP8266 or ESP32 dev board without the Dig shield if you want to try it out without spending a bunch up front.

4 pins is usually just RGB, since one of them is the common pin.
Oliper202020@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Okay, its my first project with rgb strip, though its inside the device, but on all the diagram pictures i have found with the quinled digs it looks like only 3 wires is going to the leds
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 3y
3 wires is usually digital LEDs like WS2812B or similar. You probably want their 4 channel analog LED board: https://quinled.info/quinled-an-quad/

I also have an extra esp32 laying around bit i dont know much about which pins does what, i have tried to learn, but never really had a specific need to learn it, so i never really understood what i was looking at, I always need reason to learn, otherwise i just can't really learn anything

WLED has pin diagrams that you can use to connect things together. Find out the voltage your LEDs use and then go from there. 4 pin addressable are typically something like the WS2811 or WS2815
Oliper202020@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
But isn't analog led the non addressable leds?
CmdrShepard@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
Correct. You should have addressable if they're segmented.

It can do a vertical rainbow and stuff so it must be addressable, but it also has a mode with multiple static colors, where every color covers 3 leds so im pretty sure its segmented, but its hard to tell when in rainbow mode, and the 3 LEDs per color could be an astatic choice

OP said they're segmented meaning they must be addressable LEDs. You're referring to analog LEDs where the entire strip can only be one color at a time.

It might be rgbw but im not sure, but it has two whites, one looks to be created with rgb, but the other one looks like it's actually a white led, but I could be mistaken, its from go/tech
