WLED Christmas Tree #XMASTREEMAKERCHALLENGE
Welcome to this tutorial on how to create an original interactive Christmas tree using the ESP32 D1 Mini, ping pong balls, and the WLED lighting control platform.

In this video, I will guide you step by step through the process of creating a unique and customizable Christmas tree. We will use simple ping pong balls, easily available and inexpensive, to create a charming and festive design.

The ESP32 D1 Mini, a development board based on the ESP32, will be the brain of this project. Through its Wi-Fi connectivity and versatility, we will use it to dynamically and creatively control the lights on the Christmas tree.

We will also use the powerful WLED lighting control platform to manage the tree's lighting effects. WLED offers a wide range of effects, colors, and animations that can be easily customized and synchronized with the festive atmosphere.

If you're ready to bring a touch of technological magic to your Christmas, don't miss this tutorial! Be sure to like, share, and subscribe to the channel for more creative and festive projects! Have fun and happy holidays to everyone! \ud83c\udf84\ud83c\udf1f
