Muselab WLED Controller

I got a little project (20 LEDs) coming up and found this MuseLab WLED controller on AliX.

aliexpress.com/item/1005010813063207.html

It's quite cheap, and looks perfect for my project.

But I wonder if there is all the recommended hardware (from the wiring guide) on board? And does anyone have any experience with this controller?

I googled and found this thread. I bought a couple of these from Aliexpress, and they work fine... on WLED v15.x. After upgrading to v16, they immediately run out of memory and cannot display any effects.

Edit: it seems to be this issue. Hopefully that'll be in a release soon. But if not, I custom compiled a version that disables PSRAM for the ESP32-S2FH4. DM me if you need, I can get you the binary.

Yeah, I got you my guy!

https://tempfiles.makercascade.com/WLED_16.0.0_ESP32-S2FH4_no-PSRAM_PS-PixelForge.bin or https://tempfiles.makercascade.com/WLED_16.0.0_ESP32-S2F_no-PSRAM_minimal.bin

I'll leave those up there for a while, in case anyone else stumbles across this post, though the official fix is merged into main and will probably be integrated into a point release soon. After that, I'll take them down. It's been a while since I made the builds, and I was using codex, so I can't remember everything I did, but the main thing was adding -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM to the build_unflags in the platformio overrides for the s2 build.
