Do i still need a Pi if i use an Intel NUC for Libreelec

Hey all,

Super excited to get this set up. I've got a rooted LG C9 that i've installed hyperion and PiCap on. I'm wondering though given i run LIbreelec on an Intel NUC whether i could get away without having to get a pi/capture card? Essentially i'm still at the stage of just working out what minimal equipment i can use to get this running. Looks awesome.

If i bought and LED strip with WLED already installed that could be my complete set up ?

Here are my lights

Just done a little googling and think i could have a completely no solder solution here if i found a WLED setup taking USB light input and having USB power

I've got a current LED strip of static colours that i power using one of the USB ports on the LG so would be hoping to use the same here.

Just looking at the 2m lights i've got now they're powered by USB?

If not i'll start googling some compatible light strips to give a test

Yep i also don't get great coverage for my full 55' so i've gone and purchased

For the controller i do have some old Arduino nanos kicking about i'm not sure though if these are compatible?

Ok slowly and surely getting there. Think this would do the trick for an ESP32 board? Wt32-eth01 Embedded Serial Port Networking Bluetooth-compatible Ethernet Wifi Combo Gateway Mcu Esp32 Wireless Module Wt32 Eth01 - Integrated Circuits - AliExpress

Once i've got my light strip and this i'm going to need a way to power the ESP32? Is that direct or do i connect it to an arduino ?

Lastly, how does hyperion picap actually connect to this ESP32 board, is it just over a network? I thought there'd be a direct connection

Again thanks for all the help so far!

Awesome yep i do run LE11 - However i've actually rooted my webos tv so i was thinking i connect my esp to that instead.

I'll checkout your board and pray i get the same results over wifi.
