  2. Look for network named WLED-AP and connect to it.
  3. Enter the default password wled1234.

  2. The Nollie Controller will restart and connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Reconnect your phone/Laptop back to your home Wi-Fi.

Access to the WLED Control Interface

  • Easiest: Install the WLED App (available on iOS and Android). It automatically discovers WLED devices on your network
  • Via Browser: Check your home router’s device list or navigate to: http://wled.local (or replace wled.local with the assigned IP address, e.g., 192.168.0.150)

  • Length: Enter the total number of LEDs on your strip.
  • Data GPIO:
    • Channel 1: GPIO 2
    • Channel 2: GPIO 4
  • Color Order: Usually GRB for WS2812B (if red and green appear swapped, change this).
  • PSU: Take the rated amperage on your PSU devide by 2 (e.g., the PSU is 10A, then enter 5000 mA).
  1. Scroll to the bottom and click Save.
