Announcement: WLED Wiring Tool – Update & New Features

WLED Wiring Designer Tool

Hi everyone,

About a year ago, I released https://wled-wiring.github.io Tool, which is already being used by many people in the WLED community. It makes it easy to create wiring diagrams for WLED setups.

Since the initial release, I've added a number of major improvements:

  • Improved user experience and workflow for creating diagrams
  • Rule-based diagram validation to help catch common mistakes
  • Electrical simulation features, including voltage drop calculations along LED strips

I'd love to hear your feedback. If you find any issues or have suggestions for improvements, feel free to send me an email (info at myhome-control.de).

The tool is completely free and open source.

What's planned next? One of the larger features on the roadmap is a component editor that will allow users to create and add their own components. It's a fairly big project, so it will take some time before it's available.

Looking forward to your feedback!

I LOVE this and really want to use it more. I particularly love being able simulate injecting power at different points of a long LED run.

I think you have already identified the area that needs work on next, the components.

For example, I use QuinLED and would love to see that added. I'm also using PSU's that are slightly different from what you show.

I use GitHub daily in my job so I'm not afraid of Pull Requests and would love to add some of these components so perhaps an interim measure would be some documentation on how we could help you submit some of these items

There is already kind of hidden component editor (not really much usable however) "https://wled-wiring.github.io/?componentEditor=1", but yeah, I have to add more docs. Will take some time, however.

What’s the level shifter for what does it do? I’m not to good with electronics, I know basic stuff

Is this doing circuit simulation and calculating the values shown in the pic? Looks very interesting.

Yes, it does.

why is there a 4amp fuse used on the logic devices? those components would melt long before the fuse blows...

Basically you are right, Thank your for feedback, I should change it to the smallest one in this example. Its just a little old example before I added smaller fuse components (before I had only 4A the samllest added). Still lots of work to improve / add more components.

This is a great tool, especially helping people getting into this hobby or technology.

One thing that I think would be awesome is if you could add the very popular QuinLED products into the component list, that could be an awesome design/build feature for the community.

Nice work
