- Mon Jun 08, 2015 4:33 am #19810 Hi,
unfortunately, I dont know much about webprogramming, so i have to ask you some question
First: the ESP8266 Arduino IDE is awesome! I tried it and controlling the WS2812 direktly over the esp-01 works like a charm.
But now i want the esp to "host" a webpage to control the WS2812. I think of a colorpicker and a brightness-slider and some Buttons for special animations. But as mentioned i'm a webnoob So can you give me pleas a example or explain me, how i manipulate the GPIOs over the hostet page?

Thanks a lot.

- Mon Jun 08, 2015 8:13 am #19820 I use the NeopixelBus Library.

- Mon Jun 08, 2015 5:29 pm #19875 Give these binaries a blast.... its what you are after. Will drive around 300-400 LEDs. You specify the pin and number of LEDs on the web page.

Uses the neopixelbus library.

makes an AP on first boot, join it go to 192.168.4.1/wifi and enter your wifi details.

unfortunately its still early stages and its all dependent on modifications to libraries that i've made adjustments to, so i can't really just upload the sketch, as it won't work plus it is in a right state / work in progress. Let me know how you get on.
