DLED recreates LPU-1 lighting control with open apps and ESP32 tools
A maker used Claude Code to develop independent LPU-1 lighting software, an ESP32 bridge and an LPD-1 device that follows the controller's protocol.

The full story
DLED provides open software for programming and playing an LPU-1 lighting controller, plus an ESP32 bridge for a browser interface. Its LPD-1 firmware follows the same network protocol and computes DMX output itself. The README explicitly credits Claude Code.
The maker reports comparing 32 recorded shows from a real LPU-1 against the LPD-1 engine, with 99.9–100% of output values matching. Windows and browser interfaces were tested; Android, iOS and macOS builds were not. The shared screenshot shows the playback interface while disconnected.
