5. Ukusetha nokufakwa
5.1 Isakhiwo sesilawuli

5.2 Izintambo Iziyalezo
Follow these steps for proper wiring of your LED strip to the controller:

- Connect the positive (+) terminal of your power supply to the V+ input on the controller.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of your power supply to the V- input on the controller.
- Connect the VCC wire from your LED strip to the V output terminal on the controller.
- Connect the DATA wire from your LED strip to the D (GPIO16) output terminal on the controller. This is the default output. The other D (GPIO2) can be used after configuration in the app.
- Connect the GND wire from your LED strip to the G output terminal on the controller.
5.3 Quick Connect Port Design
The controller features a quick connect port design for convenient wiring:

- Open the connector upwards.
- Insert the stripped wire into the port.
- Press down on the connector to secure the wire.
6. Ukusebenza
6.1 Imisebenzi Yenkinobho
The controller has two physical buttons for basic control:

- Inkinobho Yokuqalisa kabusha: Pressing this button will temporarily power off the controller module. Releasing it will power it back on. This is useful for restarting the controller after configuring the microphone or other settings.
- Opt Button:
- Ukucindezela okufushane: Ivula noma ivale idivayisi.
- Long Press (1 second): Switches between available colors or effects.
- Cindezela isikhathi eside (10 amasekhondi): Resets the WLED controller and activates the WLED-AP hotspot for initial setup or re-configuration.
6.2 Ukulawulwa kohlelo lokusebenza
The GLEDOPTO controller is primarily managed through the WLED application, offering extensive control over your LED strips.
6.2.1 Imiphumela Enamandla
The WLED app provides access to over 100 dynamic lighting effects, allowing for personalized ambiance.

6.2.2 Segmented Color Control
Customize individual segments of your LED strip to display different colors simultaneously.

6.2.3 Microphone Function
The built-in microphone allows the LED lights to synchronize with music or ambient sounds, creating immersive audio-reactive lighting experiences.


6.3 Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Alexa
The controller supports integration with Amazon Alexa for voice control. Follow these steps to connect:

- Go to the control page of the WLED controller in the app, click on the "Config" button in the top right corner to enter the settings, and then click on "Sync Interfaces".
- Scroll up to find "Alexa Voice Assistant", check the box next to "Emulate Alexa device", and then save.
- After successfully saving, power cycle the WLED controller once by turning it off and on.
- Open the Amazon Alexa app, click on the "Devices" page at the top right corner on the "+" sign, and then click "Add Device".
- Then, scroll up and click on "Other" to enter, select "Wi-Fi", and then click "Discover Devices" to search for lights.
7. I-Firmware Updates
The integrated UART port allows for convenient firmware updates. Refer to the official WLED documentation or GLEDOPTO support resources for detailed instructions on how to perform firmware updates. Always ensure you are using the correct firmware version for your ESP32 chip to prevent damage.
8. Isondlo
