The Arduino IDE is no longer recommended. + +If you don't want to change the code but only add some compile options and/or usermods, you can use bot on discord or compile with just few clicks using [this inofficial web based wled compiler](https://wled-compile.github.io/). Using it you can download the resulting .bin file directly or install via USB using built-in web-based installer. ### Preparations
