Shared Architecture
Home and Go share:
- ESP32 as the main MCU (Wi-Fi + BLE, Arduino-compatible)
- WLED firmware out of the box
- WS2812B addressable LEDs
- OWLS BLE protocol for app control
- JLCPCB manufactured PCBs
Key Design Decisions
Xiao vs Embedded Module
Home and Go use Seeed Xiao ESP32 dev boards for prototyping speed. Production revisions will evaluate embedded ESP32 modules for cleaner USB implementation and lower BOM cost at scale.
Current Limiting
All products implement hardware current limiting to protect LEDs and battery. See the Current Limit Config page for resistor calculations and configuration.
