RPi3 + WS2812b + ESP8266

Hi today i started with by hyperion project and it turned out i should have read the guides here before i order stuff

so now i'm sitting on a raspberry pi 3 running the latest version of retropie + Kodi18 rc1 and all that doesn't work well with the WS2812b. more info? look here https://hyperion-project.org/t…ce-and-not-manually.3256/

Good thing though i have an esp8266 lying around so i can use it to controll the LEDs.

What can you guys recommend to get this to work?
i already found these 'official' options:

https://hyperion-project.org/t…-esp32-for-hyperion.3004/
https://github.com/hyperion-pr…firmware/arduino/adalight

plus hundreds of different blog entries using all different and slightly changed arduino sketches...
https://www.instructables.com/…-Input-Connected-to-Your/
...this really confuses me.

what other options do i have?
what is the best way to do it in my case?

by looking at HyperCon/Hardware/Device/Type i can find all sorts of possible ways to do it.
still i have no idea what they mean and/or how they work (USB/USB new-imp/SEDU/ADALIGHT/USBASP-WS2812)

Thank for any ideas

thanks TP
ng is not really a thing for me since i want to keep it simple and safe for the first.
i decided to use scilors sketch with my ESP8266. It works quite good.

But it didn't worked until i found out that i don't need two hyperion instances for what i wanted to do...
took me some time to get...
now i ll spend my time tweakin everything to my needs
