The lights work great, the network traffic is minimal, no need for separate networks any more. Just finished converting and consolidating to the V3 pixelstick from v2, including moving to firmware 4 beta4 and getting the latest FPP and xLights to work with it. Thank you for your time and for developing this great hardware/software! Reply So back to my original question, is there a better process that I don’t know about that could make testing with live pixels quicker? Compile and export the binary in arduino, use the java ESPSFlashTool.jar to build an efu(which takes a while) and then do an OTA update on the espixelstick via web. The other option is to have the espixelstick all connected to the power supply and pixels. So that leaves me having the d1 connected to the pc via usb, then when I upload a new sketch having to disconnect it go to my work bench connect that all up and then do the testing. Can I have the usb connected from the pc to the D1 while also having my power supply connected to the terminals? I am guessing no and have not tried that yet in case it would fry something. I want to be able to make some changes to the code, compile then upload to the espixelstick to test with pixels connected to it. I have everything setup and able to compile and upload via usb successfully, but my question is if there is a better/quicker process for testing than I am doing now. I am trying to make a custom effect and am new to the Arduino environment.
