Setting it up

The adapter needs a pixel controller running ESPixelStick 4.0, so install ESPixelStick 4.0 on your controller first. Plug the adapter into one of the controller's outputs and set that output to DMX in ESPixelStick. In xLights, discover the controller and pick model ESPixelStick-4.x. The setup guide walks through every step, including addressing your fixtures.

With the 8 Port LED Distro: the ESPixelStick online installer has an "ESP32 BONG 69" platform for it. Plug the adapter into LED port 8, and in xLights pick variant Bong69.
