Music visualizer, animations, games & live weather for your WLED LED matrix.
Read full description
Pipplee is the easiest way to control a WLED 2D LED matrix from your phone. Play animations, turn music into a light show, draw pixel art, scroll text, run arcade games and show live weather on your LED panel - no coding, no config files.
WORKS WITH ANY WLED MATRIX
16x16, 32x32, 8x32, 24x16 or a custom layout - if WLED supports your 2D matrix, Pipplee fits content to it automatically. You need an ESP32 running WLED (ESP8266 and ESP32-C3 are not supported). GIF and image playback needs WLED 16.0.0 or newer.
MUSIC VISUALIZER
• Your matrix dances to whatever is playing, using your phone's microphone
• 13 visualizers: Spectrum Bars, Mirror, Waveform, Bass Fire, Waterfall, Starburst, Radial and more
• Colour gradients or a single colour, plus a sensitivity control
• Smart beat detection that ignores steady background noise like fans
• Keep it running in the background, or keep your screen on while it plays
• Sound is analysed on your phone - nothing is recorded or sent anywhere
ANIMATIONS & PIXEL ART
• 1000+ ready-made animations and pixel art, searchable by category
• Live pixel editor with instant preview on your LEDs
• Upload your own GIFs and images
• AI pixel art: describe it and Pipplee generates it for your matrix
• 200+ built-in WLED effects with animated previews
TEXT, CLOCK & LIVE INFO
• Scrolling text with gradients, backgrounds and effects
• Digital clock faces with animated backgrounds
• Live local weather that updates on its own
• Live sports scores, stock prices and a game-night scoreboard
PLAY ARCADE GAMES ON YOUR LED MATRIX
Snake, Blocks, Pong, Breakout, Flappy Bird, Space Invaders and Racing - play on your phone and watch it run on your LED matrix.
CAMERA EFFECTS
• Body Glow: your silhouette lights up on the matrix using your phone camera
AUTOMATE EVERYTHING
• Favorites and playlists for hands-free animation cycling
• Schedule presets by time of day
• Smart-home friendly: send messages to your matrix from your own scripts with the Pipplee API
• Built-in WLED settings, so you never leave the app
