+# kbx's 16-channel ESP32 Powered LED Strip Controller
+
+![kbxLEDController-16ch](images/boards_small.jpg "kbxLEDController-16ch")
+
+## What?
+
+Just another LED strip/tape controller...because the world needs more blinky!
+ It was designed with [ESPHome](https://esphome.io) in mind but should work fine
+ with [Tasmota](https://tasmota.github.io/docs/) or any other app, really.
+
+## Why?
+
+I've been using more and more LED tape around my home. In some areas, I have
+ multiple sections of the tape but didn't want to have a dedicated controller
+ (and that many more Wi-Fi devices on my network) for each section. Sooooo why
+ not make a single controller that can control a whole bunch of strips from a
+ single ESP32? Here we are.
+
+A benefit of the ESP32 over the ESP8266 is that the ESP32 has dedicated hardware
+ for generating PWM. This means that dimming of the LEDs is flicker-free,
+ extremely consistent and smooth. While possible on the ESP8266, control
+ just...isn't as slick.
+
+These boards are laid out for RGBW strips/tape, but they can be wired up to
+ more or less any kind of strips, whether monochrome, RGB, RGBW, RGBWW, the
+ variable-color-temperature type...whatever.
+
+They will work with a range of voltages, from 5 volts up to 24 volts. Note
+ that the 3.3-volt regulator will likely get **HOT** with a power supply
+ of much greater than 12 volts, however, and in such a state its voltage
+ output may drop which will trigger the ESP-32's brownout detection, resetting
+ the processor. Something to keep in mind.
+
+With the transistors in the BoM, it should be good for up to about 60 watts
+ per channel -- but, again, watch for excess heat. Also...don't expect to
+ be able to run all 16 channels at the full 60 watts. You're asking for smoke
+ and flames if you do so. Still, the layout should be pretty accommodating for
+ high currents, especially if the boards are fabricated with 2 oz copper (as
+ they should be because current and heat).
+
+## How?
+
+Please see the BoM [here](kbxLEDController-16ch.bom.csv) or
+ [here](https://octopart.com/bom-tool/OrMoA1no) for a list of parts needed to
+ build one. I had the PCBs fabricated by [Elecrow](https://www.elecrow.com) but
+ nearly any PCB fabricator should be able to manufacture these without any issues.
+
+If you have PCBs fabricated, I *highly* recommend having them made with 2 oz
+ copper -- it costs a little more but *significantly* improves heat dissipation.
+
+The schematic and PCB were drawn in [KiCAD](https://www.kicad-pcb.org).
+
+See the [ESPHome](ESPHome/) directory for a "demo" configuration you can use with
+ [ESPHome](https://esphome.io) to test the device after construction.
