Zedfy WLED Controller

The Zedfy WLED Controller is our own ESP32-based LED controller running WLED. PixDrive Studio controls it live over Art-Net, sACN or TPM2.NET – over Wi-Fi, or by cable with the Ethernet adapter. With the PixDrive extension and the SD card board it also plays exported shows without any computer.

  • Art-Net
  • sACN (E1.31)
  • TPM2.NET
  • No PC (SD card)

How PixDrive drives the Zedfy WLED Controller

Live with PixDrive Studio

Live over Art-Net

PixDrive Studio streams the pixel data to the controller in real time. Good for shows you run live or control via OSC and REST.

  1. 1In the WLED interface, go to Settings → Sync Interfaces, enable realtime receive and choose Art-Net as the type
  2. 2Set the start universe and start address
  3. 3In PixDrive Studio, add the controller as an Art-Net device with its IP address
Live with PixDrive Studio

Live over sACN (E1.31)

Same idea with sACN – unicast to the controller’s IP, or multicast when several receivers listen to the same universes.

  1. 1In WLED, go to Settings → Sync Interfaces and choose E1.31 (sACN) as the realtime type
  2. 2Set the start universe
  3. 3In PixDrive Studio, add an sACN device and assign the universes
Live with PixDrive Studio

Live over TPM2.NET

A lean UDP protocol without universe handling: PixDrive sends all pixels of a device to the controller in one go.

  1. 1In WLED, go to Settings → Sync Interfaces and enable UDP realtime receive (TPM2.NET arrives on port 65506)
  2. 2In PixDrive Studio, add a TPM2.NET device with the controller’s IP address
No computer

No PC, straight from the SD card

With the Zedfy ZW-SD board the controller reads animations from a microSD card. The pins are already set for it. Every WLED segment can loop its own animation.

  1. 1Export the show from PixDrive Studio as a .wled file
  2. 2Open http://<WLED-IP>/pixdrive in the browser and upload the file
  3. 3In WLED, give a segment the PixDrive effect and enter the file path as the segment name, e.g. /pixdrive/show.wled

Matching add-ons

Ethernet adapter (ZW001)

Connects the controller to the network by cable. For live control with many pixels, or where Wi-Fi is crowded, much more reliable than wireless.

SD card board ZW-SD

microSD slot for playback without a computer. On the Zedfy WLED Controller the pins are already set. Not in the shop, available on request only.
