What controller to use for 9 channels?
I came here from NightDriver, which uses FastLED on ESP32 to drive ARGB strips using RMT. As far as I understand using RMT is specific to ESP32 and there's a hardware limitation of 8 channels.
- I made a 32 Band LED Audio Spectrum Analyser. I’ve put a link of the full video tutorial with the GitHub repo below in the 1st comment. Cheers.

Anyone know where I could obtain these
I’ll do you one better: Here is the WLED main site - they cover everything - however you want it for your vehicle is up to you! (If you want to see a truck I personally worked (with 2 other main guys doing the woodwork and wiring) on that was probably the “most expensive” project with these controllers, check out the SEMA entered “Realtree Stormtrooper truck” - a LOT of time went in to that and almost a year of prep, not a fan myself, but custom electronics are what I like doing)

The perfect WLED board... is not working.
Did you use the esp32.bin? If so, you should instead use ESP32-C3 here: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases/download/v0.14.0/WLED_0.14.0_ESP32-C3.bin

How do I get LED strips here? My plan is to use Govee H619A and PVC U profiles again (like in the last pic) for the green part but how do i get electricity up there? the outlet is X'ed 'cause theres gonna be a shower right under it and theres only one more outlet next to the sink in pic 2

An idea I had for a power injector for use with bullet pixels left me with questions.
I feel like I should start this post with a disclaimer. I tend to over-complicate things. Which means I'm making this post partly as a sanity check and partly to fill in some gaps in my kno.wled.ge
