FastLED is working towards v4.0, introducing the [Channels API](https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/src/fl/channels/README.md) and [FastLED Audio](https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/src/fl/audio/README.md). The Channels API is great for generic light control software, as it allows you to define at runtime which pins to use, which LED type, and which RGB order. Until now this was only possible at compile time, which made FastLED less straightforward to use in this type of software.

I am the main developer of [MoonLight](MoonLight) and as soon as I found out about the Channels API, I started using it. As a bonus, there is also brand new FastLED Audio. I integrated both into MoonLight and just released a version including both: [v0.9.0](https://github.com/MoonModules/MoonLight/releases/tag/v0.9.0).

On top of FastLED, you get a browser interface, lots of effects, and essentials like WiFi, Ethernet, a Firmware Manager, System Management, support for different boards (ESP32-D0, ESP32-S3, ESP32-P4, S3 and P4 preferred), Art-Net, Infrared, Gyro, and much more.

This also brings FastLED to end users who don't want to program but just want to use it.

In this version I've included basic FastLED Channel API and Audio functionality. Others like u/sutaburosa and u/4wheelJive have done much more advanced stuff (see other posts on r/FastLED), which I hope to add later. u/Zackees is also working on a lot of amazing things. I'll be working closely with them to bring these features into MoonLight. You can follow progress in recent [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/issues).

New functionality will be published in Nightly builds, which can also be flashed directly.

You can install the latest release and Nightly builds here: [MoonLight Installer](https://moonmodules.org/MoonLight/gettingstarted/installer/).

If you'd like to add more FastLED effects or other FastLED features to MoonLight, help is very much appreciated, feel free to reach out for more info!
