Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

Hello, super new to this.

So I've managed to setup some pixel tape or addressable leds with wled using an ESP32 board as the controller. I also manged to use wled as the firmware and connect open rgb. All fine. But open rgb isn't quite what I'm looking for.

I just cannot figure out how to connect QLC+ to the wled/esp32 board. Using the e1.31 protocol.

Sorry if my wording isn't quite correct, but can anyone help?

Thank you

Neil

Network 101 to the rescue!
Your ESP board needs a network address inside the same network as QLC+ is in. f.i. 192.168.0.10 (QLC+) and 192.168.0.41 (ESP) MASK 255.255.255.0
Try to ping the ESP - ping OK = you have a connection.
Now set up the QLC+ input / output tab in a universe to send out sACN (or e1.31) to UNICAST it to 192.168.0.41 ^^.

Really appreciate the reply. I think you might be a bit ahead of me. So my esp32 board flashed with wled has an ip of http://192.168.1.35 in open rgb you put this into the bit that says ip and it just works.

How do I put that ip into qlc?
