<p>After the multichannel LED driver was completed, I was just getting used to controlling LEDs at 14-bit resolution. I liked the board we designed in this project, but at 32 channels it was a bit large for most use cases. Sometimes I just want to pop a piece of LED tape or two somewhere, but I don't need a full 32 channels of control. I ended up thinking that a smaller version of the 32-channel driver that didn't require a separate control computer would be handy. So I sat down and designed a variant of the design with only 8 channels instead of 32 and an on-board ESP8266 module instead of the <a href="#system-message-1"><span class="problematic" id="problematic-1">RS485_</span></a> transceiver for WiFi connectivity.</p>

<p>Recently, I have been working on a <a href="#system-message-1"><span class="problematic" id="problematic-1">`small driver`_</span></a> for ambient lighting using 12V LED strips like you can get inexpensively from China. I wanted to be able to just throw one of these somewhere, stick down some LED tape, hook it up to a small transformer and be able to control it through Wifi. When I was writing the firmware, I noticed that when fading between different colors, the colors look <em>all wrong</em>! This observation led me down a rabbit hole of color perception and LED peculiarities.</p>
