About Pipplee: WLED LED Matrix
Pipplee is the easiest way to control a WLED 2D LED matrix from your iPhone. Play animations, turn music into a light show, draw pixel art, scroll text, run arcade games and show live weather on your LED panel - no coding, no config files. WORKS WITH ANY WLED MATRIX 16x16, 32x32, 8x32, 24x16 or a custom layout - if WLED supports your 2D matrix, Pipplee fits content to it automatically. You need an ESP32 running WLED (ESP8266 and ESP32-C3 are not supported). GIF and image playback needs WLED 16.0.0 or newer. MUSIC VISUALIZER • Your matrix dances to whatever is playing, using your iPhone's microphone • 13 visualizers: Spectrum Bars, Mirror, Waveform, Bass Fire, Waterfall, Starburst, Radial and more • Colour gradients or a single colour, plus a sensitivity control • Smart beat detection that ignores steady background noise like fans • Music playing on your iPhone keeps playing while it listens • Keep it running in the background, or keep your screen on while it plays • Sound is analysed on your iPhone - nothing is recorded or sent anywhere ANIMATIONS & PIXEL ART • 1000+ ready-made animations and pixel art, searchable by category • Live pixel editor with instant preview on your LEDs • Upload your own GIFs and images • AI pixel art: describe it and Pipplee generates it for your matrix • 200+ built-in WLED effects with animated previews TEXT, CLOCK & LIVE INFO • Scrolling text with gradients, backgrounds and effects • Digital clock faces with animated backgrounds • Live local weather that updates on its own • Live sports scores, stock prices and a game-night scoreboard PLAY ARCADE GAMES ON YOUR LED MATRIX Snake, Blocks, Pong, Breakout, Flappy Bird, Space Invaders and Racing - play on your iPhone and watch it run on your LED matrix. CAMERA EFFECTS • Body Glow: your silhouette lights up on the matrix using your iPhone camera AUTOMATE EVERYTHING • Favorites and playlists for hands-free animation cycling • Schedule presets by time of day • Smart-home friendly: send messages to your matrix from your own scripts with the Pipplee API • Built-in WLED settings, so you never leave the app WHO IS PIPPLEE FOR? WLED users with an LED matrix, makers and DIY electronics fans, pixel artists, gamers, music lovers, and anyone who wants a glowing display for a desk, bedroom, game room or shop window. GET STARTED IN MINUTES 1. Flash WLED on an ESP32 and set up your LED matrix in 2D mode. 2. Connect your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network. 3.
