WLED Controller Build

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

This video walks through the assembly of a LED control box using Wasatch Pixels Quad+
pixel controller. I will be using this controller for my permanently installed puck lights that I
purchased from Your Pixel Store. I have utilized this WLED controller so that I can use
WLED and xLights. I will use xLights to control the lights during the Christmas season
where I run an animated light show using the wired Ethernet connection. During the rest of
the year, I will use WLED to control the lights using the WIFI network connection. The
materials to construct the box and where to find the parts is listed below.
