This Matouch 1.28 ToolSet_LED Strip Controller could be a good tool to drive the WS2812 strips/panels. It is based on MaTouch 1.28”, provide a friendly UI for users to control/set WS2812 blink mode. If you’d like to make your room/ Christmas tree blinky immediately, this controller could be a good solution.

This product features:

1. PD power. This device is equipped with PD circuit, that with a PD power, you can free to select 5v/9v/12v, to drive different WS2812 with different power requests.

2. Control 2 Channel WS2812 strip simultaneously, with Max 300 pcs, max current 6A；

3. Current measurable. With this, users can monitor the driver current in time;

4. Multiple driver spec adjustable

Compares to ordinary cheap WS2812 LED driver box, the most reasons we design this controller are:

Ordinary cheap WS2812 LED driver box, the control mode/color is fixed and can not change , but with this module , for example you can select any color with R/G/B;

This project is an open hardware, all the related source open, so users can enjoy to learn to use ESP32 programming/ IPS Touch screen usage/LVGL design, or design personal UI..

With PD power/current measurement, this controller could be a good handy tool for files applications installation/debugging.

This module is shipped with a 1m 60pcs WS2812 strip, with power voltage 12V, user can free to purchase other alike strip/panels such as:
