To achieve this he created Fade, a custom programming language/framework for controlling LED animations from the ESP32. Fade is written for addressable RGB LEDs like the Neopixel/WS2812.

We have to admit a soft spot for LED panels here at Hackaday, and given the ESP32’s power we look forward to writing up the expected projects that will come our way using this library.

T he ESP32 is a fantastic little microcontroller with a world of possibilities. Its specifications may appear modest, but its capabilities enable it to power all kinds of devices.
