QuinLED Dig-Uno v4

Back to Addressable LEDs section

The QuinLED Dig-Uno is a Digital LED controller which uses a modern ESP32 with 8MB of flash and 2MB PSRAM to control Digitally Addressable LED strips but adds a lot of features in a very compact form factor such as screw input and output terminals, high board power handling, onboard fuse, reverse polarity protection circuit, onboard level-shifters for long data lines and more! Functionality to make running digital LEDs using an easy to use and safe board to leave running 24/7. Other unique features are the QuinLED-ESP32 which can be purchased with a board antenna, external or wired Ethernet option making it one of the most compact WLED controllers with Ethernet out there.

The board is perfect for driving up to 2 (the board has 2 individual data outputs) ws2812b “neopixel”, ws2811, sk6812, TM1814, WS2805 or other type of 5v, 12v or 24v addressable LED strip! This means the controller with WLED is compatible with addressable RGB, RGBW and RGBCCT (or RGB+CCT) LED strips and pixels.

Support for the board is included in current versions of WLED and pre-configured builds are available on https://install.quinled.info or anything else that runs on an ESP32 (such as ESPixelstick, Moonlight and others)!

Of the QuinLED Dig-Uno there is a DIY version (you buy the components and build it yourself) and a Pre-Assembled version. Each differ slightly in function so below sections will be divided. Some articles might seem double or the same because of it!

DIY and Pre-Assembled versions, which one is right for you?

There are 2 versions of the QuinLED Dig-Uno, the DIY version you build yourself and the pre-assembled version you get fully ready to go including pre-flashed with the newest available version of WLED! That way you can just screw in the cables and get started, no soldering required!

The Pre-Assembled version also adds a few features above the DIY version such as an individual level-shifter per output channel and the custom DC-DC circuit which accepts 5V-24V in for both main power and VEXT power allowing dual power setups (Main power + standby power and a relay) vs the DIY version without the need of jumpers!

Which version is right for you I can’t decide. But generally if you find it fun to build and/or want the cheapest version possible (using Aliexpress components) the DIY could be right for you. But if time is more valuable to you then money or just need something that works the pre-assembled version is likely better for you.

Something with a proper case

If you’d rather buy a controller that already has a proper case around it and comes with more power outputs that are individually fused, also take a look at the Dig-Next-2!
