DISCLAIMER: This is still a “DIY” project. The device comes assembled, tested, and loaded with the software, but you are still responsible for knowing how to use it. I can’t replace your devices if you use it incorrectly and damage it.

Amazing little
Controller for my Christmas Light project!

Very happy with my purchase. The board’s design has been approached like fine art and the outcome is a great product for DIY LED lighting projects.

Well worth it! I had been creating my own basic setups, but these made it worth it saving me hours of soldering, plus adding many more safety features I didn’t have. Thanks so much!!

Extremely happy with my Dig-Uno. Just ordered 2 more! Thanks guys

These things are amazing!! I have been so pleased with them, that I have given several of them to friends to help start their “addiction” too. My experience ordering from Dr zzs (and family) has been great (on all 3 occasions) and worth the wait when it has been necessary.

Great Product! Arrived in great condition and worked right out of the box!
DrZzs –
yay! Love to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment Nick 🙂

Few Design Oversights But Close To Perfect
Most notably, the fuse slightly overhangs the top of the esp32 board by 1-2 mm and completely blocks the USB-C port. Luckily I had extra female to long male pin header extensions that would raise the board just above the fuse so I can control WLED over USB for my monitor backlight software. (Note. not included with Dig-Uno nor Quinled esp32 boards).
This also means that to remove the esp32 board from the Dig-Uno you have to remove the fuse first or risk bending a component to get the proper clearance to remove the esp32 board. I love how compact the Dig-Uno is but 1-2mm is probably not worth some people bending a pin on their esp32 board.
There seems to also be another design oversite in that these Quinled esp32 boards use 2 sets of 9×2 pins of which the Dig-Uno can physically only fit 1 9×1 row and 1 9×2 row. I don’t think this really matters since none of the pins seem to matter for the Uno but I think widening the overall pcb by 3mm to accommodate the second row of 9 pins would be overall cleaner than letting the pins hang out. Or in the case of what I received on my Dig Uno, forcibly jamming an empty 1×9 pin header into the slot between the soldered 9×1 header and the external 5v pins.
Other than the completely blocked USB-C port, which can be fixed with extension pin headers, the other issues only affects the initial setup and use of Dig-Uno for my use case. If you’re just plugging in wires and using WLED it would be seamless. Everything else from the components, soldering quality, and safety design is almost perfect which is why the little things stand out more. Overall if you’re thinking of any kind of RGB strip project I would only recommend these Dig-Unos or Quads.
DrZzs –
thanks for your thoughtful review.
I can add some information to the topics you discussed.
First, the USB port is purposely blocked when attached to the DigUno/Quad. The diguno/quads were never intended to be powered using the USB port. By powering it through the USB port you are bypassing the fuse. Also, if power is connected to the power terminals AND the USB port at the same time, the device will most likely suffer damage. So the positioning of the USB port is not an oversight, but a purposeful design choice.
Second, the previous version of the DigUno was designed to be used with the ESP8266-based D1mini. If you want to use the QuinLED-ESP32 on the older version of the DigUno then you should only solder the inside rows of pins. That is why if someone wants me to solder the ESP32 for them they need to specify which version of the DigUno they are using (new or old). The new version of the DigUno has 2 rows of pin headers to accommodate all the pins on the QuinLED-ESP32.
Thanks again for your thorough review!

This little device is awesome! I was able to get a string of lights dancing in no time. I can’t wait to expand the light show.
