Excellent project and nice clean installation. Can you cover how WLED knows to add the white channel?

[@BytesOfPi]

Sure, it comes down to the type of LEDs you select in "LED Preferences". When you select "LED Output", it will give you a dropdown of the types of LEDs it supports. Some of the lights supported (like the SK6812 I used in the video) have RGBW next to the name. If that type of light is selected, the additional white channel sliders / options are made available.

Hi! about the resistors... what they do? can U provide links for them? Thanks!

[@BytesOfPi]

The choice for me to use a resistor (330 ohm) on the data line comes from the best practices and recommendations from WLED, Adafruit and others. Initially I learned it from another KZbin channel (Playful Technology) when setting up his escape room puzzle. Quindor goes into extended detail on why he includes a 249 and a 33 ohm resistor on his particular boards. I purchased these (100 pack) so I'll probably never need to purchase any again: amzn.to/3TU5Ao1 Links to the documents I refer to above are: Playful Technology: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYeZgJKBn9FrZ7c Adafruit Best Practices: learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/best-practices WLED Getting Started: kno.wled.ge/basics/getting-started/ Quinled info: quinled.info/data-signal-cable-conditioning/

Why does your voice sounded sped up?

[@BytesOfPi]

Good question. It's a personal preference. A lot of video walkthroughs I've seen are slow and don't get to the meat of the topic fast enough. I end up speeding up the video to get to the good part. Sometimes there's a lot to cover. I don't want ppl to have to wait to get to the part they care about so I speed it up a little and put chapters. It makes the videos shorter, but you can skip to the part you want to see and not feel like it's dragging.
