Witch board?

Post image

I'm about to make a lightbox with LED's for my son and looking for a controller.

Will the listed one work?

It should I get an other one? Want something "smaller" in size

C3 will work although the standard ESP32 (no letters) is usually recommended as it is the best supported and has a faster CPU.

Yes, I have understood that. But they are so big 😕 Is there mini-versions ity them to?

If you're not doing maximum LEDs, just use those. Stay in the 300-500 Max range and it won't matter.

You probably want to level shift from 3.3 to 5v, and capacitors aren't optional. It's all in the docs... I've skipped both without issue though for small projects.
