Guys I Just made a workshop proposal about dmx and ws2811 strips
Check out the list of topics, i think im tring to cover all ot the mencioned on this topic, but we can add more
I will be bringing my own wifi nodes ( for dmx and for ws2811 output ) and if we have time I can show you guys how to build them from scratch using arduino + ethernet and esp8266 hardware. We have the finished products for sale, but i think it will be possible to add 3 hours on how to buiild them ( electronics and arduino side )
we made a few changes on the librarys to allow the nodes to be clients or ap, so we can group several node to a single router. Up to now we did 13 universes ( 3 dmx and 10 pixel led) with a 30 dolars tplink router , no problem at all!
