How to wire up Ws2812b LEDs to an ESP32 with WLED

This video is a quick tutorial on how to connect your WS2812b LED lights to an ESP32 controller board. We will run our lights using the WLED software.

NOTE The WLED password is: wled1234

Software:
* ESP32 bin file: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/re...
* ESPhomeFlasher: https://github.com/esphome/esphome-fl...

Parts:
* ESP32s: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...
* 10A power supply: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...
* 5m WS2812b LED strip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
* 1000uF Capacitor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
* 470 ohm Resistor: https://www.amazon.com/Elegoo-Values-...

* Soldering Iron: https://www.amazon.com/Soldering-Kit-...

You can find cheaper resistors/capacitors using sites like aliexpress, but the shipping times may be longer. Alternatively, a Fry's electronics or MicroCenter may stock them individually.

As stated in the video, to calculate what kind of power supply you need, follow this formula:
(number of LEDs) * (60 mA (this is their max current draw)) = milliamps required

~3A (3,000mA) is plenty for most WLED effects.
