(feature request) guide for ethernet

Open softhack007 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Would be nice if some kind soul who has ethernet up and running with WLED would make a short guide for ethernet setup.

  • list of boards supported (you can take that directly from the source code)
  • how to switch to ethernet, after first connecting to WLED-AP
  • static IP, or dynamic IP
  • notes / fallacies / pitfalls,
  • limitations and caveats for specific boards (if possible)
  • GPIO limitations (some pins are not usable)

  • ABC! WLED V43 & compatible
  • ESP32-POE

I do not own Ethernet board so could not

I could add Info, but I only have my boards, therefore some questions:

  • "how to switch to ethernet, after first connecting to WLED-AP" --> Is there any issues/complications? I think I just select etehrnet Type and plug LAN cable, then communictae via LAN IP
  • "static IP, or dynamic IP" --> General advatages/drawbacks or there is some special to WLED?
  • "notes / fallacies / pitfalls" --> For example?

Current docs do show what pins aren't available and what controllers are supported. There's also an explanation about how to select your board from the settings page. I think this is resolved?

@softhack007 do you agree?
