Esp8266 vs Raspberry Pi zero 1
-
ESP8266 with WLED and running hyperion on windows (1) 100%
-
Raspberry Pi zero with hyperbian in combination with windows screen grabber (0) 0%
Hi all,
I'm a bit in doubt which direction to go. I have a windows media pc running, which is connected to my tv with HDMI. The two options I have at the moment are:
1: Apa102 --> Logic shifter --> ESP8266 with WLED
Running hyperion on the windows machine and sending the info to the esp8266
2: Apa102-->Logic shifter --> Raspberry Pi zero with hyperbian
Using Hyperion screen capture (Windows Grabber) on the windows media pc, and sending it to the raspberry pi.
What would choose and why? And Is it better to send "led data" over wifi (option 1) or to send " screen data" over wifi (option2)?
Even better, it would be perfect to not use the network at all. Is it possible to connect the esp8266 to the pc with usb and run hyperion on windows?
