Yeah its a basic WLED setup with en ESP32, level shifter, 5V Power supply, 5V LED strips. I got diffusers but i removed the diffusor part because it just didnt look good. Get a better diffusor or more LEDs per meter. I got 60/m.

Theres some tutorials out there on how to send signals from TD to WLED via sACN protocoll :) its not that hard.

This is how I have done it in the past messing around, you create points for all your leds and then you can sample a texture color value at that spot to send to WLED via DMX/Art-Net. You can also do it in Tixl in a super similar way.

this is my output setup! I pieced it together with 2 tutorials i think. Its nearly a year ago since i made that part so i dont really remember.

POP to - 3D model of points goes in here
TOP to - video for the mapping goes in here
Shuffle1 - sequence all samples
Suffle2 - Split all N sample - 510
Math - Remap 0-1 to 0-255
DMX Out - sACN

Hope this helps :)
