xLume LED Controller for Xbox 360 - ESP8266 Based

xLume is a powerful LED controller project built with the ESP8266. It works alongside the xLume Xbox application and connects via UART to receive commands directly from your Xbox 360. 

Comes supplied with a LED strip count of 17 LEDs, enough to wrap around the fan of a slim console.

Features

• ESP8266-based LED controller
• Works seamlessly with xLume Xbox app
• Supports multiple LED effects
• Customizable LED count

Important Setup Information

The default LED count in the xlume.ini is 17 which is the LED count for the strip supplied to go around the fan. If you add more LEDs, change the count to match.

The connection to the LEDs must be at the end of the strip; connecting elsewhere will not function properly.

For xLume to function properly, make sure you have debug output enabled in your launch.ini file with the following line:

debugout = true
