v0.5.9
This release positions MoonLight as the driver for real-world venues. See MoonLight @ Concert on YouTube/MoonModules and moonmodules.org/news. Also the M5Stack AtomS3R is introduced as the preferred microcontroller for basic setups.
Use MoonLight Web Installer to install. It is recommended to do a fresh install (erase device).
Note: Currently MoonLight runs best on devices with PSRAM (esp32-s3 devices, esp32-d0-wrover). d0 (standard esp32) and c3 will be supported in upcoming release. The MoonBase (no MoonLight) version runs fine on all devices. P4 is work in progress.
If you like MoonLight, give it a star, fork it or open an issue or pull request. It helps the project grow, improve and get noticed.

This release works towards MoonLight 0.6.0 which is aimed at end users and is expected end of September 2025. Containing presets controller pad, user friendly installer, physical driver for large displays, WLED audio sync and more.
Progress can be tracked in the Kanban board
We need developers: to create new layouts, effects and modifiers, to create ci-automations, to connect Midi controllers, to make web installers, to improve the UI or whatever good idea you have. Contact us on Discord or Reddit if you want to help!

v0.5.8
This release focuses on extensive codebase cleanup and standardization to establish a stable foundation for future development. FastLED and Yves his physical I2S drivers are consolidated into one repo, virtual will follow later! Drivers can now be used to output DMX or LEDs to Art-Net and use flicker free I2S on physical pins.
Use MoonLight Web Installer to install this release. It is recommended to do a fresh install (erase device).
Note: Currently MoonLight runs best on esp32-s3 devices. d0 (standard esp32) and c3 will be fixed in next release, p4 not planned yet. The MoonBase (no MoonLight) version runs fine on d0 devices.

v0.5.7
This release is a dive into the deep as we move to the latest of the latest of our software stack: ESP-IDF 5, FastLED 3.10.1, Svelte 5, DaisyUI 5 and Tailwind 4. Added Presets, Channel View, SafeMode. Added multiple Layout, Effects and Modifier nodes and moved LED and Art-Net drivers as nodes. Reorganised platformio and added new boards.
So don't expect everything to work smoothly. But we improve from here!
Use MoonLight Web Installer to install this release. It is recommended to do a fresh install (erase device) of this release as file system structure has been changed.

v0.5.5
Repo reorg: Forget about StarMod, StarBase, StarLight, MoonBase !
There is now only one repo: https://github.com/MoonModules/MoonLight
And one Documentation: https://moonmodules.org/MoonLight/
MoonLight is a MoonModules.org project.
The MoonLight repo has 2 'features': MoonBase and MoonLight. If you want a fork without MoonLight you can -D FT_MOONLIGHT=0 and make whatever you like, and you get UI, Wifi, System monitoring, NPT, MQTT, Download manager, Instance manager, File manager and Moon-Modules out of the box.
What's Changed
ESP32SvelteKit
- Update from Svelte 4 to Svelte 5 by @theelims
MoonBase
- File manager
- Instances
- Modules: A module defines its (data) definition in JSON and defines its business logic (onUpdate). UI, web sockets, rest api and file persistence is provided by the system. (Compare with WLED usermods, except core functionality is also wrapped in modules (e.g. Animations, Artnet, Instances).
- Link to docs on each screen
MoonLight
-
Physical and virtual layer of lights
- Physical layer: representing the physical lights
- Virtual layer: represents virtual lights mapped to physical lights
- Nodes control the layers
-
From Leds to Lights
- FastLED leds array extended
- Supports multiple types which are union overlayed. CRGB as the core type, channels as the general type
- Can also hold light positions to send to the UI preview
- Lights header contains meta data like nrOfLights, size, channelsPerLight
- setPixelColor -> setPixel -> setLight: setLight is the new function to set a light, set its color, or set its tilt and pan ...
-
- Layout node 🚥(PKA fixtures): adds lights in the virtual layer based on its position. Will use modifier nodes if defined
- Modifier node 💎: to determine how to map a light (e.g. mirrored)
- Effect node 🔥: Writes into the virtual layer, which writes into the physical layer using the mapping made by layout and modifiers
- Unlimited nr of nodes, running multiple effects with multiple modifiers on multiple layouts. Each node can be switched on and off
- Unlimited node controls e.g. a layout node has size and width, an effect node has speed etc.
-
Livescripts from @hpwit for all node types
- supporting layout definitions, modifiers and effects.
- examples can be found here
- works on esp32-s3 builds, excluded from esp32dev as it doesn't fit on the flash partition ATM
-
Monitor: Using native webGL (no space consuming threejs in WWWData.h anymore)
-
Artnet: sends the lights array via AsyncUDP to Led or DMX controller (code by @troyhacks)
Example of multiple nodes of different types with controls:
