Ethernet Pixel Controller

This project was the result of the split in functionality from the earlier Ethernet DMX Controller versions in order to reduce the scope of each design. It is designed to work as a standalone driver or be built-in to a larger installation.

It supports four individual asynchronous addressable LED outputs (see bottom for list of supported protocols). Synchronous protocols that require a clock and data line take up two output ports for each pixel output.

Each pixel output is buffered and level shifted to 5V. All inputs and outputs to the device are protected from ESD and voltage transients.

The controller runs a custom version of the popular WLED open-source firmware tailored specifically to the hardware to enable direct control, including built-in patterns, out of the box. For more customization and PC-based content, the LED outputs can also be controlled directly through Art-Net or sACN.
