🔥 This LED project is literally a “Girl on Fire” moment! Inspired by Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, we used the Sparkle Motion controller with WLED and xLights to light up a cosplay dress — but the same setup works for any LED project: costumes, props, stage shows, art installations, and more. In this tutorial, you’ll learn: How to install and configure WLED on the Sparkle Motion boards — a line of compact ESP32 LED controllers with USB-C, microphone input, and Stemma-QT support. How to set up the full Sparkle Motion board for multi-channel LED projects with both WLED and xLights. Step-by-step xLights sequencing to create synchronized animations for cosplay builds, music-reactive costumes, or massive LED art installations. Why this combo rocks: WLED = quick setup and instant wireless control. xLights = professional-grade sequencing and music sync. Sparkle Motion boards = ESP32 power, Wi-Fi, multiple LED channels, and tons of expandability.
