There are many projects posted over the web which implement the excellent FastLED library on the ESP12 processor; however locating a project which implements this on the more powerful sibling is a lot more difficult.

So, with a few failed attempts and a lot of patching samples together; I have a stable running implementation which you can clone or fork to get up and running quickly with your own projects.

For the past year, I have been using a tiny board, known as the NodeMCU which is essentially a developer board for a module know as the ESP8266. The NodeMCU is formed by an ESP12E, which still has an ESP8266EX inside it.

This device is really nice to work with, it is supplied preconfigured with a Micro USB input, for both programming and power.

The term NodeMCU usually refers to the firmware, while the board is called Devkit. NodeMCU Devkit 1.0 consists of an ESP-12E on a board, along with a voltage regulator, a USB interface.
