Hi! I just seen your video on Qiundor's discord. Nice! Funny thing, I just set up 8 outputs on my quad but with standard esp32 (not the esp32-AE+) approx a month ago. I used the 5 outputs available plus I put a logic level shifter on pins Q1, Q2, and Q4 and operated the pixels with approx 20' data cable to each set. Pin Q3 didn't work for pixels. But I use pin Q3 to operate a relay on the AC side. Thanks for posting your video. I'll check out more of them in time!

The 6th, 7th and 8th LED outputs are provided with an upgraded QuinLED-ESP32-AE+ module. If you are running the standard QuinLED-ESP32 module then only 5 LED outputs are possible.
Can you show how to attach the pigtails to the board for 5th and 6-8 on the esp32AE+? Is there dip switches on the board that need to be set to support this??
See video 1:15 for picture of output 5. It is the yellow wire (data) on the green terminal. See video 9:57 for picture of all pigtail ends connected. The 3 yellow (data) wires connected to the top of the ESP32-AE+ are outputs 6,7 & 8. The Red (+) and Black (-) wires from the pigtails are connected to the red and black terminals. You may have to "double up" some of the pigtails in the red/black terminals.
Yes. It may be possible. You would have to be careful when mapping to the GPIOs. Which firmware would you like to run (WLED or ESPixelStick)? How many relays are you trying to control?
The only issue I can think of would be the relay port is also used for 1 of the 8 LED outputs (port 5). You should be able to run 7 LED Outputs with 1 relay. I have not tried this but it "should" be possible.
you made my day, of all the videos I watched for how to set up a Quad, yours was the most informative and detailed, thank you.
You’re very welcome
For anyone getting the error message "Sorry, pins [15] can't be used." scroll down to "Relay GPIO" and set to "unused".
Thanks, that solved my problem.

Thanks for the comments and I hope you keep watching.
At the end of the video you mention using a power distribution board and two power supplies. Can you provide a video on that set up? Thanks.
I'm working on a couple of other videos but I will put that into the idea queue. Thanks for idea.
Cool
Thank you!
Why do you never show the actual wiring?
I will create a simple wiring diagram and publish.

I know how to hook up the fifth. Where do the data lines for 6,7,8 hook up to the board?
The 6th, 7th and 8th LED outputs are provided with an upgraded QuinLED-ESP32-AE+ module. If you are running the standard QuinLED-ESP32 module then only 5 LED outputs are possible.
How do you assemble the plastic box?
You can order on the QUINLED worldwide shop: DIG QUAD ACRYLIC CASE

Is it possible to use all 8 channels and still have a relay? If so, how?
Yes. It may be possible. You would have to be careful when mapping to the GPIOs. Which firmware would you like to run (WLED or ESPixelStick)? How many relays are you trying to control?
@@thechristmaslightguy Thank you for your response. I'm using WLED and only need to control one relay.
The only issue I can think of would be the relay port is also used for 1 of the 8 LED outputs (port 5). You should be able to run 7 LED Outputs with 1 relay. I have not tried this but it "should" be possible.
@@thechristmaslightguy Thank you for the response. I'll give it a try.
GPIO 15 NOT support the channel 5
Are you getting GPIO 15 can't be used? If so, scroll down to "Relay GPIO" and set to unused.
