A step-by-step guide on how to build a simple LED controller with no soldering and no special tools. While a soldered version is always preferred for more permanent projects, this video will show you how to build a controller to let you experiment with LED strips and the WLED software using a minimal amount of parts and no special tools, skills or coding.

Please check out the links following the chapter breaks for much more information on using different controllers, LED strips and sample projects using LEDs.
