![]() Ask Question Comment Supplies WLED controller: Esp8266. The following is a photograph I made for Peugeot UK's new 208. Pixelstick and Magilight are great tools to create images in your light paint photography but they are expensive for a beginner photographer, so I decide to find a cheal alternative that might works exactly the same and just for 50USD or less. The Pixelstick pretty much "draws" that image in the air which your camera captures (your eyes will only see a sequence of what seems like random flashing lights instead). ![]() Photographing on a long exposure, walk right to left facing the camera and at a steady pace. From a hardware perspective, the ESPixelStick is a pixel driver motherboard for the ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi module. The controller itself fits in 1 thin wall PVC to enable embedding with the fixture its controlling. Think of each LED as an individual pixel so you can create bitmap (.BMP) images of 200 pixel high in Photoshop (they can otherwise be any length really) and import them via the SD slot into the Pixelstick. A cost effective solution for driving a universe of pixels via E1.31 over WiFi. It's a programmable 2m high stick which features 198 LEDs and an SD card slot to import your own creations. In short the Pixelstick (by Bitbanger Labs) is a light painting tool. The commercial applications should not be overlooked by a photographer like me often working with London based creative agencies, PR companies, etc. When I heard about the Pixelstick in 2013, I immediately saw the potential for my creative urban photography. I'm a self-confessed photography gadget geek.
