Compatible Hardware
Glow Worm Luciferin is a firmware designed for ESP microcontrollers.
ESP8266, ESP32, ESP32-C3, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3 are fully supported.
If you want to use another microcontroller you can build your own firmware.
D1 Mini format is compatible with the Luciferin Official PCB.
These are some microcontrollers that are fully tested with Luciferin.
LOLIN ESP8266 D1 Mini 4MB | LOLIN ESP8266 D1 Mini Pro 4MB |
---|---|
Full firmware requires an ESP8266 with 4MB of flash memory, Light firmware can run on ESP8266 Lite with 1MB of flash memory.

NOTE: Ethernet devices must be directly supported by the firmware. These are the supported ethernet devices:
- QuinLed-ESP32-Ethernet
- QuinLed-Dig-Octa Brainboard-32-8L
- LilyGO-T-ETH-POE
- LilyGO-T-POE-Pro
- WT32-ETH01
- ESP32-ETHERNET-KIT-VE
- ESP32-POE
- ESP32-POE-WROVER
- WESP32
Thanks to Arduino Boostrapper, Luciferin can run on a lot of devices but if you want to run of a different board than ESP8266/ESP32, you need to manually compile the firmware.
Luciferin supports RGB and RGBW strips. 60 LEDs per meter is generally bright enough for most applications and does not require a lot of power.

You can learn how to configure Luciferin for RGB or RGBW strip here.
You need to buy a power supply capable of powering all the LEDs you want. For 60 LEDs a power supply of at least 5V/3A it's recommended, for 120 LEDs you need a 5V/6A power supply, do your math here. A bigger power supply generally works better and runs less hot than a smaller one. Don't undersize the power supply.
FULL firmware version adds suppmaddaort for remote control, if you flash FULL version you MUST configure WiFi and MQTT. With FULL firmware USB connection is optional.
If you flash LIGHT firmware you MUST use USB cable.
Note: If you want to use the FULL firmware without using a USB cable you need to connect the 5V microcontroller's PIN to the power supply.
If you don't want to design your own PCB and you have a soldering iron, you might find Luciferin's official PCB interesting.
Luciferin supports pre-build boards like QuinLED-Dig-Uno and QuinLED dig2go.

---|---|
DigUno and dig2Go board uses GPIO16 as default pin, so don't forget to configure the GPIO if you choose to use this board. dig2go is limited to 5V/3A, brightness can be limited when using a lot of LEDs.
