Why ESP8266 is going to be depreciate ? Can you just make the 0.13b release version for ESP8266 ?

2 Reasons:

• The ESP8266 was never powerful enough to handle WLEDs effects AND the Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) that was required for the more sophisticated effects of the SR fork.
• Many variants of the ESP8266 lack the required amount of flash space for the SR fork

Due to these reasons, the ESP8266 is being phased out of the SR fork.

Hi ,

SR 0.13.B3 for esp8266 is available here https://wled-install.github.io/ also there is SR 0.13.B4 if you look in discord but i haven't tried it . As the guys mentioned esp8266 is not optimal for SR so expect issues and bottlenecks .
Good luck

We should change the description of the project on GitHub to say ESP32 as it still says ESP8266

[softhack007]

README states that the ESP8266 branch is no longer receiving regular updates. Reasons explained in #159 (comment)

Currently you need an ESP32 to run WLED-SR. Technicially the 8266 is not fast enough for our audio processing code, so it's not so easy to 'release th latest dev for esp8266'.

Im sorry to bring it up here (may be new thread) but,
Is it possible to have one WLED-SR ESP32 and then just sync the realtime reacting effect through the WLED sync groups to other (even ESP8266) WLED devices ?

Hi @roboraptor, You might also want to join up on the Discord to discuss (https://discord.gg/4CQRmfR), where the community (including developers) might be able to help you.

Yeah this is possible, I started hacking this together. It's sadly not that straight forward as the esp8266 branch has diverged too much from the ESP32 branch so which pattern is which doesn't sync

To do properly would require starting from the main dev branch, then only excluding the FFT processing if you are in ESP8266. However as mentioned you are still going to struggle with the space issue with many ESP8266 based boards so upgrade really is the best option
