3.1 Connecting BLOX to WS2812 Addressable RGB LEDs

OpenBuilds BLOX supports external LED strings, matrixes and rings containing WS2812 based addressable LEDs

  • Max Current: 2A
  • Voltage: 5v (Same as Input voltage)
  • LED Type: WS2812B
  • LED Address: 2+ (0,1=Onboard)

Configuration

grblHAL / CONTROL

Make sure to set $536=0-255 (WS2812B LED strip length) in grblHAL settings (CONTROL > Grbl Settings Tab > Scroll down to$536 WS2812B LED strip length > Set the value to 2+'number of LEDs on the attached strip/matrix/circle' and Save That is because BLOX has two onboard LEDs. So if you add a 24-LED strip, you should set $536 = 2+24 thus $536=26

To change the LED colors, use the M140 command
