A WLED UI extension for an easy control of the awesome new "Image" effect, capable of displaying animated GIFs on your LED matrix.
It is using the ESP filesystem editor at /edit to list and change files on the local ESP storage.
- Click to change currently displayed image
- Upload/Delete image files
- Save images as presets
- Forced caching of images and request limiting (ESP crashes when there are too many concurrend HTTP requests)
- Button to refresh all images, useful when an image was replaced with another one of the same name
Warning
Only upload images in your matrix native resolution! (e.g. 16x16)
Due to the limited flash storage space and processing power, .gif files of larger dimensions will make the effect lag and kill WLED performance
- Currently the "Image" effect only supports .gif files
- All image files will be uploaded to/read from the root path of WLEDs LittleFS because it does not support subfolders
- SD card support untested
Download gifplayer.htm and upload it to the WLED fileystem using http://{WLED}/edit
After that, the page can be accessed using http://{WLED}/gifplayer.htm
Thanks to @ajotanc for inspiring the layout and giving me a place to start using parts of his awesome PixelMagicTool!
And of course, thank you @Aircoookie and the entire WLED community for lighting up our homes! 🏠✨
