control multiple slave outputs over wifi simultaniously
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2017 2:26 amhi all
i am working on a project for my wedding where we are having RGB LED strips put into our clothes. i am wanting to hame them all controlled by an individual esp unit on the person, that is controled my a master arduino unit that is connected to an audio source on the mixer.
this will then generate the led colour and brightness, then transmit that to the slave units for them to display for the dancing etc...
so, computer/MP3 ---> master arduino (generating colour and brightness PWM vaules)--->transmits to slave ESP2866 units (aprox 6-7)---> controls LED outputs so they all match
what would be the best way of acheiving this? i am looking to use this project and them modify it as needed to acheive the wireless result.
i guess somewhat exactly like this, except using an arduino to generate the values.

im not sure how to make the master arduino take the generated output and transmit it to the slaves.
the slave units will be battery powered so that's not an issue, but i will need to make one to calculate the battery capacity needed.
from what i can gather, i can use 3 of the GPIO pins as the PWM outputs, that will drive mosfets.
but i need them all to be simultanious with eachother.
Cheers all
