Setup Guide

How to setup WS281x LED Status on your Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint.

I've tried to make this setup process as simple as possible, while it was already easy it is even easier with this guide.

Installation

Install the plugin via OctoPrint's bundled plugin manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/cp2004/OctoPrint-WS281x_LED_Status/releases/latest/download/release.zip

Once you have installed and enabled the plugin, OctoPrint will prompt you to restart the server.

Once the server is back up, you may have to refresh the page for in order for the wizard dialog to show up.

Using the OctoPrint Docker container? There's some additional steps you have to follow for this to work.

Check you have the right hardware:
