Your video on home automation has been a true inspiration. The ingenuity and skill displayed in your work, especially in the WLED MATRIX creation, are remarkable. Your ability to blend creativity with practicality sets a new standard in the DIY community. As an enthusiast of Smart Home Automation and a fellow engineer, I deeply appreciate the effort and knowledge you pour into your projects. Looking forward to your future creations, which I'm sure will be as groundbreaking as this one.

Best regards,

Brother, you're doing an excellent job, and i feel like you're not receiving the amount of recognition that you truly deserve. Don't give up, keep going, and someday you will achieve the success you deserve because your work is truly exceptional. Sending you a friendly wave from Morocco! (By the way, if possible, I would love to see more projects from you similar to nanoleaf panels and lines new sizes new shapes...)

Tolles Video 👍 Meine ursprüngliche Idee eine Ulanzi nachzubauen kommt ins Wanken, da sich mit WLED offenbar viel mehr Möglichkeiten ergeben 🤔 Werde es aber ausprobieren, danke für die Inspiration 🙂
Great video 👍 My original idea of ​​replicating a Ulanzi now has a lot of question marks, as there are apparently many more options with WLED 🤔 But I'll try it out, thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Nice instructions, works for me now after some time and trial&error. Thank you! You could underline that the images have to be in a special format and you could reveal the code somewhere to avoid typos (git?)

at 9:56 you say "And now you fill in the code you get from a file called pixel art creator" and you claim to put a link here. But I cannot find the link. I must be missing it. Can you please tell me where the link is?

[christopheboucher]

Magnifique ! Thx a lot ! I can’t find the code in the description as you said ;) or maybe a ressource link to learn how to do ?
