LED PIXELSTICK PASSWORD
After 10-15 Seconds connect to the AP "LED_PainterAP" with the password "ledpainter" and go to the url in your browser.

If you have not changed your settings in the source code, the controller will start in AP Mode after 10 Seconds since it couldn't connect to the default Station.
LED PIXELSTICK CODE
BMP drawing code is based on Bodmer's TFT_HX8357 example.Put your images to the data-folder of the project (or leave it as it is) and select "Upload SPIFFS image" to make the SPIFFS Filesystem ready.Compile the Firmware and upload to your controller.Edit the configuration initialization according to your settings (Config configuration =.Leave the setting because with the newer Arduino framework you might get issues with the webinterface (due to a bug in streamFile-Function). Edit the platformio.ini to match your board. Accelerometer/Gyro support for automatic animation at movement.Predefined patterns (like Rainbow, color gradient etc.).Fallback to AP when trigger button is pressed on Bootup.Automatic fallback to AP-Mode when the configured Wifi Station couldn't be connected.All configurations such as STA/AP Mode, number of LEDs, Pin for dataline of LED, Trigger-Pin, Image selection and time for each image row to be displayed are also be done in via Webinterface.The images can be uploaded via Webinterface.The images are stored on the internal SPI-Flash in the SPIFFS Filesystem.Direct BMP support, no special conversion tools are needed.The number and density of the LEDs can be determined by you. This project uses a cheap ESP8266 based Microcontroller board (like NodeMCU, WEMOS D1 mini ) and an addressable WS2812 based LED strip. Light painting is a technique to paint different patterns on a long exposure photograph by using a moving light source like a flashlight or in this case an WS2812 LED Strip. A DIY Pixelstick clone for Light Painting using the ESP8266 and a WS2812 Strip (Neopixel)
