You are limited with the designs you can create using this standard method though. Usually the light source is a basic item like a flashlight. The light will show up in the image just the way it was moved around.

Put simply, for those who aren’t aware of what light painting is, it is a method of utilizing the long exposure on a camera and a moving light source. Compile and export the binary in arduino, use the java ESPSFlashTool.jar to build an efu(which takes a while) and then do an OTA update on the espixelstick via web.Light painting can be a fun and creative addition to any photography. The other option is to have the espixelstick all connected to the power supply and pixels. So that leaves me having the d1 connected to the pc via usb, then when I upload a new sketch having to disconnect it go to my work bench connect that all up and then do the testing. Can I have the usb connected from the pc to the D1 while also having my power supply connected to the terminals? I am guessing no and have not tried that yet in case it would fry something. I want to be able to make some changes to the code, compile then upload to the espixelstick to test with pixels connected to it.

I have everything setup and able to compile and upload via usb successfully, but my question is if there is a better/quicker process for testing than I am doing now. I am trying to make a custom effect and am new to the Arduino environment.

Towards the bottom of the Serial Output window, you will find the IP Address of your ESPixelStick.

One finished, you will see “-= Programming Complete =-” in the Status window.

Click Upload to flash your ESPixelStick.

For Platform, select the option which includes ESPixelStick V3.

Select Serial for control of DMX and Renard devices.

For Firmware, select the Pixel option for controlling WS2811 and GECE pixels.

Device ID is a plain text name to help you later identify your ESPixelStick from the Web UI. If left blank, a hostname will be auto-generated. Hostname is the network hostname you want to use for this device.

Hostname and Device ID are optional and may be changed later from the Web UI.

Fill in SSID and Passphrase with the credentials for your network.

Please check if your device connects before trying to install any drivers as your system may already have them installed: In order to program the ESPixelStick, you’ll need the following installed on your system. To program the ESPixelStick, you need to remove the Wemos module from the main board. The top module, which is a Wemos D1 mini and the ESPixelStick main board which act as a mother board for the Wemos module. The ESPixelStick V3 consists of two parts. Programming the ESPixelStick V3 is quite simple. The ESPixelStick V3 is only available from our Store.
