From the guide:
Make a statement for your home or office that pulses with furry, glowy goodness. It’s pettable, programmable, and controllable with your phone or any internet-enabled device, including Alexa or a Philips Hue Bridge. The WLED software is easy to install and set up and comes with dozens of premade animations that can be customized for nearly unlimited color and pattern variations.
We’re using a Feather ESP32 V2, which connects to your phone or computer via your WiFi network, so everyone in your home can take control and create their own presets and patterns.
The software for this project is easy, but there is a fair bit of tricky soldering involved. Hang in there — you will love your new furry friend in the end.
