Octa2Go 8-Port Pixel Controller
Description
8-port Wi-Fi pixel controller

More outputs, less guesswork.

Octa2Go is an ESP32-based pixel controller for builders who are ready to run more props from one board. It ships with WLED installed, works with xLights, and supports 5V, 12V, and 24V 3-wire pixels.

8 local pixel outputs WLED 16.0.1 installed 2.4GHz Wi-Fi xLights compatible Modular and repairable

Built for pixels

Eight outputs let you split props into cleaner runs instead of forcing everything onto one or two long strings.

Beginner-friendly WLED

WLED comes pre-installed so you can connect, configure your outputs, and start testing without compiling firmware.

Room to grow

The expansion header supports add-on modules such as Ethernet, SD card, audio-reactive, IR, and 4-button control. Modules sold separately.

What it supports

  • 5V, 12V, and 24V pixels and strip, using 3-wire data only. No clock/data pixel types.
  • 5V data output through 33 ohm resistors.
  • WLED effects, presets, segments, playlists, and network control.
  • xLights use through WLED-supported network protocols.
  • Optional Ethernet model with 10/100 Ethernet module installed and configured.

Power layout

Octa2Go has two pixel power banks so you can run different voltages on each side when your layout calls for it.

P1 power input Powers ports 1-4 and also feeds the onboard step-down supply for the ESP32. Set the voltage jumper correctly before powering up.
P2 power input Powers ports 5-8 only. No voltage jumper is required for P2 because it does not power the ESP32.

Power-up safety note

Reverse polarity protection helps protect the controller, but it does not protect pixels connected to the outputs. After wiring DC power, power the controller with no pixels connected first. Confirm polarity and settings before plugging in your pixels.

Recommended pixel counts

The ESP32 can drive a lot of pixels, but performance depends on pixel count, frame rate, effects, Wi-Fi quality, and your layout. For a smooth beginner experience, start smaller and grow once everything is working.

Recommended 250 pixels/output
2,000 total pixels
Very good 400 pixels/output
3,200 total pixels
Good 500 pixels/output
4,000 total pixels
Okay 600 pixels/output
4,800 total pixels

For runs over about 200 pixels on an output, plan on proper power injection. The controller output limit is 5A max per output, 40A total.
