glorb-0.14.4.0

GLORB Release 0.14.4.0

🌟 Overview

lampOS is a custom firmware built on the WLED project and made compatible with the GLORB. The GLORB is a smart lamp and living sculpture that combines elegant design with advanced RGB lighting control. This firmware extends WLED's capabilities with GLORB-specific features and Bluetooth connectivity.

🚀 Key Features

Core WLED Features

• Rich palette of special effects, color selections and preset management
• Multiple control interfaces (HTTP API, MQTT, Alexa, etc.)
• OTA update capability

Specific Enhancements

• Custom module with optimised WLED effects for the GLORB geometry
• Bluetooth control via dedicated SNRGY mobile app

📝 Changelog

• Initial integration of WLED core (v0.14.4)
• Implemented Bluetooth connectivity stack
• Added GLORB-specific hardware configuration and effect patterns

🛠️ Known Issues

Connectivity

• Some users may experience delayed responses using the mobile app
• Visible lag may occur when accessing the device via Bluetooth

Light Output

• Low brightness levels may cause flickering in the animation patterns

⚠️ Important Warnings

DO NOT flash custom firmware or standard WLED builds unless you are certain of the correct board configuration. Incorrect board settings during firmware updates can brick your device.

🗒️ Notes

If experiencing issues, try restarting the device (power cycle) and/or restarting the mobile app
