The dig2go powered by a usb power bank is ideal for putting addressable leds on your children’s stroller or wagon. Especially for holiday parades.
I would have never thought of that but that's an awesome idea! Especially using the sk6812 RGBW and segment feature you could even use it for practical lighting too, next to having fun twinkling LEDs on the top!
My wife makes costumes for children playing in musicals. A few years ago I had to add neopixels to one of those costumes controlled by an esp32. Using an artnet library and my own written led routines I put everything together in a Tupperwarebox and strapped it to the kid. Somehow it survived but it had a 50% chance of failing on stage. This year she asked my help again and I just bought the dig2go. Small, working with a powerbank, controlable for the light-technician. I feel safe using it in a costume and it's more I could ever wish for.
That's so awesome to hear and indeed one of the uses cased I envisioned for it! Hope it treats you well!
I'm so unbelievably impressed. Great work.
This is simply splendid, I believe this board will bring Quinled products "to masses" and be huge step in your production! Congratulations Quindor, great job! Ordering two of them right now, will make a Christmas tree controller out of them. This will be sixth controller in home ❤
Oh, your stocking up, very nice and thank you! :)
Great news! I appressiate it a lot! PWM Analog dimmer device is very welcommed too.
This is revolutionary and will bring new players to the WLED world. Bravo. I'll need at least 5 plus spare pigtails.
Fantastic little device, I have numerous controllers but this one's perfect for some projects I have in mind. Plus it's already in an enclosure so I don't have to screw around with 3d printer files that say they're for D1mini-sized ESP32s but are really for the 8266 variety and thus require way too much tweaking and scaling trouble. Thanks for releasing this!
Bought one of these for our Christmas tree lights. I can't wait to use it!
Been using it for a month or so now. Definitely ideal for anyone just getting into LEDs and wanting to do a small 5v setup or just play around with wled and programming.
I have four already. Fantastic. Have one running a 32 by 32 led matrix. Works very well.
Awesome! Yeah sometimes a little bit less power isn't that much of an issue at all. A 32x32 matrix would double as a second sun full-out. 🤣
Congratulation, very nice introducing
I have one but with the bundle option is a very cute gift :)
I have four of these on my windows as part of my permanent Christmas lights. They are awesome! I love the fact that I can leave the LED strips inside the window frames and simply plug in the tiny little controller at Christmas. With WLED pre-installed it is super easy to set up and it syncs automatically to my main light controller (Dig-Quad). After Christmas, I just unplug the controller and everything is clean again. Great little device! My next plan is to use these babies on some props in the yard.
That's an awesome use case! I use it for a lot of that stuff, have a powerbank, strip and dig2go in my laptop bag as standard, can make dazzling LEDs anywhere easily!
Great looking controller! I have several Unos and Quads, but the dig2go will work great to control the stair railing WS2812B fairly lights that I plan to install soon. I'll have to add one of these to my next DrZzs order.
Love this. Been wanting to put some LEDs in the kids rooms but didn't want to leave a bare controller exposed. With the included microphone this is a no brainer
Exactly this and I get that, hence this product made sense to me!
Just got one to have a play with.... I'm seriously impressed. I have made a few DigUnos in a the past but getting a decent looking case been the pinch point. These are exactly what I need for some projects I'm working on.
Awesome to hear! Yeah, these are just easy to grab and use when you don't need lots of Amps and stuff! :D
Nice work man!
WOW! Finally a taste of your amazing design in a "ready to go" package for guys like me, with totally absent soldering skills!
Really can't wait for your pre-assembled analog stuff, though. I am really craving for this, to eliminate all the crappy low-freq PWM stuff I have now, without soldering (screwing is OK).
It's coming, in pre-production testing right now!
Great work Quindor, I have a feeling this will outsell the rest of your range of controllers..
I can only hope but I try to make them all the best they can be for the purpose!
This is awesome
I’m the “friend” you talk about 😂😭
absolutely crazy with those prices.
Just got one for a 16x16 matrix, cant wait to see how well it works.
I use one for that too, works great! Well, unless you want it to be as bright as the sun, then a Dig-Uno with some injections can do better but for normal use I think you'll be very happy!
I used 2 of these to power my xmas lights around my windows - top product
How long does the power last in the powerbank?
It'll depend on the LEDs and patterns really. First you need to know that a 20000mAh powerbank is really only about 14000mAh or 14Ah real-world 5v (because the battery cells are 3.7v nominal and they market that capacity!).
Then say your pattern uses 10w constantly. This mean a load of 2Amps or 2Ah. With that we can say that if our powerbank is 14Ah and we use 2Ah it will last 7 hours.
If your pattern uses less power on average, it'll lost longer, if more, shorter. See my real-world power sheet for Dara to calculate with!
I have a question about dig2go... if i have 20 meters ledstrips with 4 dig2to. Does the it work as 1 strip as in a hole??
Perfect for a PC case.
This looks amazing and is priced very reasonably for the feature set! The only caveat I'm seeing, is that it's perpetually out of stock everywhere. Wish I had the option to just pre-order or put a deposit down now on a few units, and then just wait however many X months it takes for more to be manufactured and shipped out. That option is much more preferable than playing the 'check every week to see if they're in stock' game.
I think you might be talking US local stock? At Worldwide (allnet) everything should generally be in stock all the time. We did run out of dig2go slightly quicker then expected this time, new stock hopefully end of next week! But generally all products should be in stock there.
We're working on a solution for better stock in the US too, that's in play right now and should be visible in about a month.
Please remember, I'm just a small player in this industry. I basically use the profit from one batch to do the next one and scale up a little bit each time. Sure I could take more risk and try and grow quicker with a loan or crowd funding, but I'd rather do it on my own power so I don't have to take too big a risk and I'll be here for the long time! Hope you can understand!
Great product, I am interested in the form factor as I feel I can safely wire this within the housing of an old TV's backlit frame construction, just wanted your thoughts do you think this would work for a wake up light? Also any suggestion for an LED strip from Ali Express / Amazon would be much appreciated. Thank you and good luck
For a wake up light I'd use analog with an analog controller really, for various reasons. The 2 biggest ones are having many more steps of dimming like 8192 vs 255 for digital. And being able to use much higher quality LEDs in like 2200k + 5000k strip. But that's a bit much to explain in a TH-cam comment. I will be releasing some pre-built analog controllers soonish.
Congratulations! How proud you must be to make this milestone. Quick question: is there a separate pig-tail to connect this device to the 6812 RGB WC WW LED strip. Forgive me if that's in your store as part of the bundle. But, was wondering how adaptive the little box is to more than just the WS2812b LED strip. Thanks again. You rock!
Sk6812 RGBW uses the same pigtail as ws2812b so you shouldn't need anything else. :)
@@IntermitTech Thanks.
This looks fantastic! Any chance you'll ever release one that'll support clock as well? I'd love to run some APA102 matrices off of something as simple as this!
Ah hmm, maybe. The Dig-Uno and Dig-Quad can already do that ofcourse but this would be missing a channel. I'll consider it for in the future, right now this was made to be as simple as possible to get started with for people who have no experience.
Just ordered mine, a long with a QuinLED Dig. tbh, Im not having much fun with the whole, setting up ESP controllers, wires, LED strips, power with soldering to get things working, which Im failing at every turn. At this point it does not become enjoyable. I just want to plug the LED + power in and work! Sp spending the extra pre-made controllers, Im hoping to get that enjoyment back.
Looks really good! But what about fire safety? Any need for external fusing on this kind of lower power setup?
No worries, the dig2go has 2 auto reset fuses built in actually so that even if an issues occurs power will be cut off at the input (for the LED strip and separately for the onboard electronics). So no external fuses needed since it's also not really meant for a power injection style setup.
Great device looking forward to getting one, quick question, will this work with Google Home, or Alexa? Thanks
I believe WLED has Alexa functionality but haven't used it myself. Tied into Home Assistant you can use basically anything though.
How many LEDs can this light before you see a drop in the effects and or need power injection?
Is there a way to process DMX signals with the DIG2GO? Ideally, a selection of the saved scenes and a dimmer would be
Hi there Quindor, I have just received my second Dig Quad, again thank you for creating such a solution.
I have a quick question if you don't mind, I am using MEANWELL LRS-100-5,
18 AMP power supplies,
My question is their are two sets of positive and negative outputs on the Meanwell, does each set output 18 amps? Or is it split between them?
I have looked everywhere for an answer but cannot find it.
I am still learning so I hope you don't mind the question.
I hope you are well.
In theory they can output all power using a single output but if possible, like with my boards, if you can use 2 wires to the thing that is using power it will create less stress on everything involved. So less voltage drop within the PSU and on the wires going to the board. This in turn also means less heat, etc.. That's why the Dig-Quad has 2 beefy input terminals for positive/negative so you can use 2x 12AWG for instance to have as little voltage drop as possible in that part of the route, especially important for 5v!
Give this a watch if you are interesting to see the difference between wire sizes and 1 or 2 wires! th-cam.com/video/behbh8VqPTg/w-d-xo.html
@@IntermitTech
Thank you so much for answering, it is greatly appreciated, so I'm thinking of running the dig quad off one 18 amp supply using both sets of outputs, would you recommend using a second identical 18 amp supply for power injection?
From this dig quad I am running 2 separate 3 metre sk6812 strips and 1 metre 2812b strip,
Also I planning on joining your discord as I know you say it's a good place to go and I know how busy you must be.
Bought 3 that just arrived
Awesome! Love this! I'm super excited to buy and deploy this for a display case I'm working on. Any chance you'll include a Power + LED bundle that uses a Neutral/Natural White RGBW strip? I'm not crazy about warm whites for display lighting. If not, no worries-I can always buy the Dig2Go by itself or the Power Bundle and get my own strip :)
Currently no, I'm still not at the scale where I can just buy a few hundred of each type and "see how it does" 😅 but hey, it's all open so for sure just get the strip you want! Although with that said, RGBW will make it look ok/decent but CRI95 analog would truly showcase whatever is in there. I hope to have solutions for that later this year but then again, you don't get the cool effects.
@@IntermitTech I take it there's probably no CRI 95 strips that would work with D2G? I haven't really found any.
Ah no, I don't believe those exist....
Does this board work with analog strips at all? Digging around for an easier solution for control of analog LED strips. I'm quite comfortable with soldering in general, but have no experience surface-mount components. If I'm honest with myself, I have too many projects in flight to go down the road of learning SMD soldering at the moment. Any tips for control/power of analog strips would be appreciated. For now I'm using pwm motor controllers and 24v power bricks connected to smart plugs. Not the prettiest solution, but it works.
Edit: I missed the final message, sorry! Eagerly awaiting the new analog boards
Check out the Analog section on quinled.info I have several anog designs there for DIY. And later this year will also have pre-assembled versions!
quick question : I lost the pigtail connector while opening the package, where can I get a spare one, TIA
Poh, I get them custom made. They are JST XH to JST SM both 3p 2.5(4)mm. Allnet can send you one for sure, maybe given them mail, otherwise you could try Aliexpress.
Hey quin, have you ever considered a car build with adressable LEDs? I am going to try it with WLED, but I'm not sure yet if my wireless hotspot will create a local network to be able to reach the web interface
Yeah in theory that should work! Lots of people use Dig-Uno or Dig-Quad in car too since you can run 12v LEDs, etc.
Just ordered two for the kids bedrooms. Can I run cables to the lights (mounted on the ceiling ) and have the control unit mounted by their beds? Is that possible ?
Thanks in advance
Bought a bunch of it!
1. Any RF controller?
2. Any mode which cycles through the different sound reactive effects. Say every 1min change effect
No RF but IR is built in! You could also hook up RF using the extra pins available.
Regarding the modes, I believe it's possible to create some kind of Playlist but I haven't messed with that myself.
Would love to see the insides of this device
Any chance you'll make one for 24v or at least 12v? This would really help us 30mm 12v & 24v pixel point users? PLEASE!!! yeah, I know just get diguno, quad, Oct. Having a plug and play in a finished housing would be a game changer for those who can solder and make a nice housing.
I have been doing investigating and maybe already some prototyping into that direction, I ***REALLY*** wish to make a 24v variant for with that "NEON Addressable 720LEDs/m" strip since there is no 24v USB-C PD (only 20v) it would basically make it 3x as expensive and run hot so I'm still researching because I really want one myself but it doesn't seem like a sensible plan basically. I mean, if it would cost a 100$, it just wouldn't make sense when a Dig-Uno that's 1/4th the price can do it, you just have to screw in wires. 😅
I have question befote i buy a bundle.
Is there any configuration with that number of leds or can i cut the included strip down to 2.8m?
Which waterproofing method do the included strips have? I dont need any waterproofing so mainly just a heat dissipation concern.
Very cool. Would one dig2go work with two 48inch RGB COB Led Strip 5V SK6812 332LED/m Dream Color addressable Strips? If so, how long do u think it would last with qty. 2 10000mAh powerbanks (see specs below)? I'm thinking about installing it on each rim of my e-bike.
USB 1 (QC 3.0): 5-6V/3A, 6-9V/2A, 9-12V/1.5A
USB 2 (QC 3.0): 5-6V/3A, 6-9V/2A, 9-12V/1.5A
Type-C (PD/QC 3.0): 5-6V/3A, 6-9V/2A, 9-12V/1.5A
Hmmmmm.... A new toy for the teardrop camper, perhaps? I think maybe so.
Hey Quin, what is the maximum PWM frequency of this controller? I would love to use it for everyday low eye-strain LEDs! Does it support the hd107 strips?
This controller does not have a PWM frequency, the chosen digital LED chip will have one.
HD107S won't be compatible since there is only a single data output so not for clock and data.
Help. I have a box of LED strips and can't remember what type they are.
I know the voltage is 5v and the 3 wires indicate they are addressable.
WS2812B, SK6812, APA102, WS2801, GS8208, etc. ?
Is there a way to distinguish?
Perhaps a microscope looking at the individual units?
If there is a way, I would love to see you make a video on that.
Poh, come to Discord and share, we can always try to figure it out! But yeah, that can be quite tough, hard to identify on LED package alone. Still 5v and 3-wire should in theory work if it's compatible and most are ws28xx signal compatible in that sense.
I have a new dig2go. Can't get the sound reactive to work.. What effect do you use or am I missing something else.
Hei Quin.
I have 2 quick Question.I want to light my Billy Bookcase from Ikea. And i planing to put 60cm Strips under each shelf (There are 6 of them). Can i take this strip and cut it in 60cm strips and solder it together with cables. Or is the voltage drop to big then? (the acutall lenght would be approx. 3.6 Meter of LED and approx. 2 Meter of cable.)
Which LED Strip would you recomend for this Projekt. The WS2812b or the SK6812?
Thanks for the help and the awesome Product.
In theory if you solder it together and make the wires the appropriate size that they don't drop too much voltage I think you can still get a satisfactory result using the dig2go for those kind of distances. I'd go for 5v sk6812 RGBW since it's a little bit more power efficient and also allows you to run dedicated White instead of RGB White.
@@IntermitTech
Thanks for the Reply. I will try it out and give Feedback when its done.
Just started my LED project with my esp32! Dang! Too late 😢
The BTF-LIGHTING FCOB WS2811 IC RGB LED Strip running at DC24V has 720LED/m. So 16.4FT requires about 70 watts. I need a solution to power one strip. Do you have a product or combination of products to fit the small scale project like mine?
Actually normally it's about 60w according to my real world LED power sheet : quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/
A Dig-Uno, Dig-Quad or Dig-Octa System will run those perfectly fine! They can all do 5v-24v instead of just 5v for the dig2go! A Dig-Uno with just a single edge connection will run it perfectly!
Hi there can we get this to work with apple HomeKit?
if it does then it's buy buy buy for me
Will this work well in comination with BTF Color Temperature Tunable COB CCT strips? It would be great for my under cabinet.
I don't believe there are any 5v variants of that. And of the 24v varients the software support is still lacking.
That said the Dig-Uno, Dig-Quad or Dig-Octa can all handle 5v-24v so that part is no problem, just still the software support in WLED.
Hello! Can you tell me, please, from where can i purchase, in Europe region, the pigtail for led strip connection? The chinese sealer from the Allnetchinat, didn" t put this conector in the package, so....
Question from someone who has absolutely no LED experience. This thing looks like exactly what I need and want. I would use it for Hyperion (Ambilight) with a SK6812 RGBNW strip but I always thought I need a lot more power for a 5 meter strip? Now that I see you even sell it for 5 meter. Is it really enough?
It depends on the desired effect. This controller has 15w of power and a sk6812 RGBW with 100% RGB uses about 50w for instance. So in that scenario it wouldn't be able to provide enough power. Then again 100% rainbow only uses about 20w so it comes very very close to that. Basically, if you have a single LED strip and aren't planning on power injecting, this will provide the same amount of power as any other controller that way.
So in my opinion, I think it could work well for a Hyperion setup (can even be done using USB because the USB-to-Serial is in there) unless you demand the utmost brightness it could possibly provide in all scenarios (so also when all LEDs want to light up white). Then a Dig-Uno or especially a Dig-Quad is a better solution I think since it will have no issue providing that kind of power, you will however also have to do more wiring since to get to that kind of power you'll need multiple injections on a 5v strip.
Hope that makes sense!
Can I use this with some 12v WS2811 Festoon lights?
Which power supply would you recommend to drive this + 30 LEDs over a span of 30 m wire?
It will not work with those, 5v only. Besides your project sounds a bit bigger so maybe look into the Dig-Uno or Dig-Quad!
First time using WLED and addressable LEDs. With 'analog' LED strips, you can wire the controller in the middle of two strips. Is such a setup possible, or do I have to run the wires all the way down to one end?
With digital strips power can flow both ways but data can only flow in the direction of the arrows so you'll have to bring some wires to the beginning of the strip or do a more advanced install and basically split it in the middle and then reverse half in software.
Can this be connected to google home through WLED?
I had an LED guru help me design an 1800 sq ft Hexagon light system with quin boards and controllers and I have it up and running and I can use WLED but I’m interested in a program where I can do some custom light patterns. Who can I speak with to get a hand in doing this? The young man I had helping me got too busy with his own stuff and now I’m left stranded.
Can I use wled and a esp8266 on a 5v argb computer fan?
is there an option to set up to use on a phones hotspot when you are setting up the dig2go on the same device that you want it to use the hotspot?
I think most modern phones can do that yes.
Will you ever get a AU plug for the power supply?
Let me know if you decide to purchase Julz. Interested to hear your thoughts mate.
Actually, we've bulk purchased some more power adapters including a variant for the AU market, not sure if they are up already if not they should be soon but make sure to ask Allnet directly, they'll try and help out!
This is amazing thank you and I am grateful. Can you give us this in a dig uno please please please. And thanks
Which part exactly are you talking about then?
@@IntermitTech really just everything. A box with the button and light etc as with the d2g but a barrel connector for higher amps. The mic. Basically the d2g but diguno-ized if that makes sense? Like a plug and play dig uno might be a better way to say it?
Is there a way to run a relay from the dig2go to enable the use of 12v LEDs
Sure, you could use the exposed female pin headers with dupont cables!
If I got one of these, and provided my own 5 volt power supply to run more LED strings in parallel, what is the fan-out of these controllers (i.e., connecting the signal lines to multiple strings in parallel)? Thx!
It only has a single level-shifted output. So even if you power-inject the LED strip after the controller (which is fine, use shared GND, disconnect positives so they can't meet) you'd realistically still be limited to around 600LEDs to make sure you keep a decent framerate on that channel. In theory you could use some of the pin sockets to use more GPIO pins but those won't have the level-shifter circuit, proper resistor, etc.. so it's a bit hit or miss if that works and only very (10cm max) data cables.
If I didn't understand you correctly and you want to use multiple strips on the single output, using short wires you could probably split the single data output to 2 maybe 3 strips and those will then do everything 100% identical.
If you really want to run multiple strips a Dig-Uno or especially a Dig-Quad is much more suited for it.
@@IntermitTech Thank you so much for your immediate reply (o: In fact a couple weeks ago I purchased 3 of your Dig-Quads, as I am illuminating a Burning Man Art Car with them (and a 60 amp 5 volt power supply(o;), and am still getting my head wrapped around the best way to wire the signals, as I understand that, although I have a plethora of outputs via Dig-Quad (o: my perception is that WLED tells me they are in one big linear array.

P.S., Oh, and I also tried running a separate wire for the signal (but tied in parallel to a Dig-Quad output) and get the same glitches. But I'm working it! (o:
OK, I have my Dig2Go package and have it working on my home WiFi. What if I want to install the lights on a costume and use it without WiFi access, but I want to be able to change the effects on the go using WLED on my phone? (I’m new to LEDs, obviously, and I’m also old.)
Check this video and the one before that th-cam.com/video/7BITEIL8Tjk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JGTahzto8bHhWG-q
any plans for a UK plug? or option to buy with LED strip and no power supply?
Ah no, we focussed on EU type and US type first, have to judge the market and to make it affordable, bug in bulk. But you could always ask allnet!
When will Dig2Go be available in US store?
Right now! Follow the links!
@@IntermitTech Just bought two earlier from the US store. I plan on using them to control/power some LEDs for TV back lighting on two tvs. I think the Dig2Go will be perfect for my application. Thanks so much!
I've got a noob question, just wanna know how long can this controller be used along with ? can it go up to 10m? How do I connect them ? sorry im new to this ! >
Although in theory it can, it's a bit power limited for that. The Dig-Uno or especially Dig-Quad are mucb better suited for that task!
Is it possible for WLED to combine two or more controllers/strips into one virtual strip so that an animation which ran down the first strip would then continue seamlessly to the next and so forth?
It is yes. Basically you have one main controller and use that to generate the effects. Let's say it's a dig2go on the LED preferences page you create an output to that LED strip. Then you create a second output and set it to DDP and send it to another dig2go for instance. That way, since the first one generates the effect it will be continuous. But the data is being transmitted over the wireless network in real-time so it'll heavily depend on the connection quality and such.
Thanks. Are the effect instructions sent to the dig2go just once/or when a change is made in WLED and stored in the dig2go or is there a continuous stream of instructions from the app?
That way it's a continuous stream of information. You can also use the sync function, then each dig2go will generate it's own effect. They'll just do the same thing, but it won't look continous.
5m sk6812 draws around 35-40W at full brightness, how does that will work with the dig2go and its 15w limit?
Did you watch the video? Explanation is in there. Sk6812 can draw up about 80w is properly injected even! But doing effects and such doesn't mean all 4 diodes are lit up, also not all at the same time in all LED packages, and thus average usage is much lower. For instance the rainbow effect runs at almost 100% so almost no loss in brightness. Others it can be less or more, so it depends a lot on the effect and how much value you find in full, all LEDs lit with multiple colors output 🙂
Can someone advice what I need to set up a stair lighting? Its straight 4 meter long staircase. Requirements: 144/m LED (with warm white option and addressable), 2x pir sensors to activate light when walking up or down? Wifi controller board? what size power supply? what size cables to use between power supply wifi board and light strip? will it need power injection midway or to the end? Does anyone know similar setup tutorial or something with all the components needed listed? thank you so so much for anyone responding!
Hi, I'm building a led bike project for Burning Man which has no cellular / internet availability. Would the dig2go work in this situation to run wled from my iPhone app?
Yes you can run it in AP mode (comes like that out of the box, would recommend changing the password!) and then connect to that Wireless AP using your phone. You can't use the app that way but you can use the web page no problem!
Or do it the other way around, get the dig2go to connect to your phone hotspot and then you can use the app and control it.
Secretly during the last Burning Man there was a project there (1m vertical sticks that sync'ed together) which were already using dig2go hardware, about a 100 of them I believe!
@@IntermitTech great thanks. Thanks for all your videos, I'm learning a ton about LED systems but I'm definitely the person you where describing in the beginning of this video(over my head), I've been watching your videos until I can't see straight!
@@IntermitTech doesn't WLED support controlling via bluetooth? That could be a lot easier than setting up a hotspot or AP
How does this compare to the preconfigured Athom controllers?
I don't believe Athom has a true USB controller. Other then that this has been specifically designed targeting USB-C and with little to no compromises to cut cost and with everything I learned from my other controllers and lots of people using them.
So it has a full fat ESP32, USB-to-Serial integrated, multiple protection circuits, IR, high quality digital Microphone, custom fit molded case, button and even available pin sockets for dupont wires if you wanted to expand functionality such as with extra buttons, a screen, sensor, etc.
I started with Athom, but had connection reliability problems. Dig Uno seems was superior and zero glitches in comparison
@@markxexar9386 so all we need now is a 12v one and I can start converting all my stuff!
Will these be back in stock soon?
They have been fully in stock on worldwide. In US locally we ran out quickly but should receive a new shipment in about 2 weeks!
can you sell more of these plz
Hi, I'm setting up my dig2go with ws2812b, 5M with the included power supply. Do I need to inject additional power for any reason?
The dig2go is really meant to use "as is" so limited to about 3Amps and that way you won't see any visible voltage drop on the LED strip. It's only when you require more light output or want more LEDs that you need to move to a more advanced controller in that sense such as the Dig-Uno or especially the Dig-Quad which has options for that built-in.
Thanks again. Can the dig2go handle 480 LEDs on the WS2812B?
Do you have a webpage or video explaining the differences between your different controller flavors?@@IntermitTech
It's on the quinled.info website in the digitally addressable section. But a video with an overview is overdue!
Can I connect this to a solar panel?
Not directly unless it outputs 5v
will this work with the cob led strips?
If they are 5v, yes.
@@IntermitTech cob led light bundles when? Aha
/can you plug a PIR in to it?
For sure, just use one of the provided GPIO pins and the power pins! You can even connect I2C devices, etc.
How can I get shipped to the UK? 😢
The worldwide store does this regularly
Niet eens een Nederlandse leverancier Quindor? ;)
Je zegt trouwens (6:00) dat het volledig open is, kan ik zelf ook deze printjes bestellen of is alleen de software open source?
Nee nog niet, op dit moment zou dat nog steeds in alle gevallen duurder zijn, maar we zijn er zeker mee bezig naarmate de schaal groeit word er meer mogelijk.
Het hardware design is niet open in die zin, maar de functionaliteit wel zeg maar, dus wil je je eigen software erop draaien, all good!
@@IntermitTech Top! Hopelijk helpt dat tegen lage kwaliteit klonen zoals Wemos heel veel last van gehad heeft
ships to canada?
Yes we do from worldwide store.
website is down and has been for some time now. I am not able to access the documentation anymore
Huh? Which website are we talking about? No issues as far as I know on my side?
@@IntermitTech ha, magic, IDK what happened but i havent been able to reach the site for several weeks now. But now it is loading, Thanks
nó thật tuyệt! tôi rất thích nó, tôi có thể mua nó ở đâu? thank you!
con 3 ampere non comandi una striscia led da 5 mt (60 led mt)...
dig2go + eu plug + 4m strip costs 47.49USD, but shipping to europe costs 30.53USD, total cost 78.02USD. Is this with VAT or excluding VAT? Also why is shipping cost so high? If its shipping from china, than maybe its better to sell through aliexpress, the china government subsidises shipping almost 100%. Packet like this would cost around 5Eur to ship. I was searching for addressable rbg controller for hass, but while i would be ok to pay 50eur for the product, i am not ok to pay nearly 30 eur for shipping. Only option is to search for other solutions or just stick with rgbw controllers and not addressable.
I just checked for me shipping would be around $25 but I get it's still not cheap. Sadly normal companies don't get to benefit from the internal shipping network of Aliexpress. Those government grants have been scaled down a lot over the years but Aliexpress can keep it cheap because of massive volume, sadly we as a small guy can't compete on that and have to pay normal shipping rates. :(
Going through Aliexpress is an option we'll re-evaluate but they really really pressure the sellers and I'd have to raise the price of the product by 50% just to cover their fees (they aren't free) and return policies and such. Most people if they buy it from Aliexpress or Amazon and break it expect a free return or money back and I'd have to reserve money for that. It's not like we don't provide warranty now, we certainly do but with another platform in between lines get blurred and it just costs more.
We try to improve where we can though, I certainly can understand this prevents you from buying one! We are looking at starting to sell locally in the EU to hopefully be able to lower shipping charges a bit but that also takes a lot to setup correctly and not only have it cost more.
So competing on price is tough, I can never offer the prices the big guys can, but I'll certainly challenge them on quality! :)
p.s. Depending on your country it's possible they will also still charge you VAT when it arrives. :(
What about DC power?
I'm confused, what is the question?
@@IntermitTech sorry. Can it be powered with an adapter instead of just usb? If I am right, usb delivers far less power compared to wall adapters right?
So if I got a really long LED strip, usb won’t light all of them up or it might be really dim.
every time I try to get one of your boards its out of stock🙄
You are likely talking US local stock, worldwide we generally don't run out and you can get it there too. But! A plan is in motion to finally try and prevent this from happening in the US too! Bear with me on that a little bit longer.
Could this work with LED strips longer than 5m? I'm looking for about 10m, but not sure if I'll need more power? Can anyone advise?
It can, there is no limitation preventing this except physics as in, a single edge injection won't allow more then 4A into the strip, the dig2go comes close to that with 3A.
So if you aren't going to do any injections, you can just as well run the dig2go. But if you are, and it becomes more important the more LEDs you have, then something like a Dig-Uno or Dig-Quad is much more suited to the task.
@IntermitTech ok, at the mo, I a USB wall socket at one side of the room which I intend to use for neatness, so if I were to add a Dig2Go and a 10m cob style strip. Then the only issues would be that it wouldn't be as bright?
Sorry, I'm a newbe to LED strips, was planning on jumping into WLED with a DigUno, but then I saw the Dig2Go and seems more like my style for this set up.
10m is just a whole lot to run at 5v 3A. Also not sure if the COB strip you are talking about is a digital strip.
In theory yes, the main issue is that it will be less bright but it will also be a bit more choppy.
In all honesty, 5m is already a bit on the edge for 60LEDs /m strip with the dig2go, 10m I feel won't give a great experience. Then you just need more power and power injections.
Maybe look at a Dig-Uno with 24v addressable neon I showed? In that situation were talking about 96w making it into the strip with a single injection instead of just 15w, I think that will make for a much better experience.
@IntermitTech cool, thanks for coming back to me, think the DigUno might be the way forward by the sounds of things. I was just looking for a nice all in one solution that worked off USB.
@finchilla yeah and I get that, the amount of power USB can provide is just very limited, especially at certain voltages. When you start adding conversion it also makes the product then much more expensive, so it's a complicated trade off in that sense. I am looking at mahbe making a 12v version of the dig2go I the future but even then it will always be limited vs using regular power supply. :)
How about import tax and vat for EU?
Sadly not yet arranged from allnet but it's on the top of our priority list to arrange the tax stuff first and later hopefully some local options in EU too, but lots need to be arranged to most it viable cost wise.
@@IntermitTech any idea of the taxes to import that? Could be a "problem" pay a 30€ product to get 30€ of tax...
Here in NL it's the tax (21%) and 5 euro processing fee. But it varies greatly per country.
Anyone from Australia purchased? Would like to know your experience. TIA
27.00 for the base unit... dig2go... or the Gledopto WLED Digital Light Strip Controller WiFi DC5-24V for $22.00 hmmm WLED already installed.. plug and play.. no brainer
buuut you cant buy it...
Why not?
SO they are not fully controllable in 5 secs.. what about installing the app and the wifi?? I call BULLSHIT
I'm looking into this for that "FRIEND" ;) Being new at all this, how much LED's can we put on this? For example, I have a project and need approx 60ft of LED's... How would I go setting it up wit hthe D2G? Thanks!
No, anything above 16ft you need something more powerful to get good results.
What if you dont have wifi available. For instance Burningman where wifi is not available. Id like to create a bicycle LED set up.
I have some videos on this. I'd recommend connecting it to your phone hot spot and using a Wiz remote. Look up the videos, it explains!
@@IntermitTech there is no internet service in the Desert. The only way to connect is via Star link and that is even limited in this area. So no hot spot capabilities.
Your phone can create a hot spot, so a Wi-Fi AP the controller can join. No need for actual internet.
