Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I use the Wemos D1R2 with this shield. It will only control 8 outputs and I need 12. so thats why I'm moving to the Mega to have more outputs. Now I'm running into the issue of the E131 library doesn't run on Mega. Do you know of one that does? can I run the E131 sketch on the ESP8266 and then have it control out outputs on the Mega? Does that make sense?
Here is the sketch I've been using.
