An-Penta-Mini WLED configuration Examples

All of these settings are done in WLED -> Settings -> LED preferences. You can add or remove channels using the + and – buttons under the channel configuration. You can find alle GPIO pins in the pinout guide.

RGBCCT

WLED configuration for RGBCCT is pretty straight forward, please see the below screenshot.

RGBCCT stands for Red, Green, Blue, Dual White (Cold White + Warm White)

RGBCCT example

Multiple white

You can also configure the board with multiple white strips for instance, for WLED each will be treated as it’s own pixel but you can use segments to control them each individually.

You can setup 3x white or 2x CCT (dual white) on the An-Penta-Mini.

2x CCT (dual white) example

Segments

As mentioned above if you create multiple outputs WLED will treat these as multiple pixels and you can run effects over them. Often though in the case of white light you just want to set them statically and control them individually. You can do that using segments, below is how you would configure that for the 2x CCT example.

End conclusion

The QuinLED An-Penta-Mini is very flexible in regards to what you can configure on it’s output ports. The only limit that really exists is that WLED limits the ESP32-C3 to max 3 Analog PWM outputs, but you’ll only run into that if you want to have an individually controllable white strip on all 5 outputs.

If you do need this functionality a custom WLED build could solve that (requires code changes) or other firmware such as ESPhome also has no problem enabling this. The larger boards on the An-Penta line-up also won’t have this same restriction!
