#64677 I have searched, but I have not found the answer I'm looking for. Can I power 8 Channel WS2812 5050 RGB LEDs from the 5V Wemos D1 mini?

This is what I going to try and power.

#64967 Just a few lines in ESP-BASIC:

Code: Select allneo.cls()

for x=0 to 6
neo(x,0,0,255,0)
delay 1000
next x


That's all !!!

For a detailed description on how to connect the strip to a Wemos D1, NodeMCU or plain ESP look at my weblog entry:
