Basics
Holds ESP8266 with level convertor. Attach 5v supply where indicated. Attach WS2812B LED strip to the other side.
Tips
-If you get signal issues there is a through-hole connector which can be just wire or the 470 ohm recommended by the project but you can simply bridge this with wire. -Using WLED with less than the stated amperage (within the software) will mean channel mixed colours will be dull. -To combat this during flashing events a surge capacitor space is provided. However, if you intend to maintain a mixed colour (say white) for more than a fraction of a second get the required power supply amperage.
Warning
This is NOT for use with 12V LED systems as the ESP8266 is powered from the same rail.
