ESP-Based Addressable RGB LED Strip Controller

Hello, everyone.
Allow me to introduce you to the Lantern project.

The lantern project is an ESP-based addressable RGB LED strip controller. It consists of two ESPs. ESP32 serves as a remote, and ESP8266 is the receiver that drives the addressable RGB LED strip. The Lantern project offers its users 32 different modes, 14 lock screens, and a basic level of security (at least it prevents separate transmitter-receiver pairs from interfering with one another).

If you're interested in this project, you can find the tutorial for it on: https://www.instructables.com/Addressab ... Lantern-P/

As for the firmware, the links are in the tutorials. But for the sake of convenience, I paste the part with the links here:

You can download the firmware for Lantern from one of these sources:

SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/the-lantern-project/

OSDN: https://osdn.net/projects/lantern/

GitHub: https://github.com/Northstrix/Lantern

If you just need the firmware for the lantern alongside the RNG, then I would advise you to download a 0.5 MB archive either from SourceForge or OSDN.

But if you need the firmware for the lantern alongside the extra code, photos, GIFs, and diagrams, in that case, I would advise you to download the 79.1 MB archive from GitHub.


I hope you find this device handy.
Best regards,
Maxim Bortnikov
