Anyone knows how to setup I2S parallel output mode in ESP32C3?
I want to control 4000 LEDS with ESP32C3, but could not find any example to start with it.
I know we can setup parallel output mode in ESP32.
Best Wishes,
Jerry

Sorry, the ESP32C3 does not have the parallel mode. As an alternative, you can perhaps control 2 LED strips using the RMT, or 4 LED strips by making smart use of the quad-spi mode of the SPI peripheral.

Thanks for your reply.
From description of ESP32C3, I found the following statements:
The I2S peripherals also support LCD mode for communicating data over a parallel bus, as used by some LCD displays and camera modules. LCD mode has the following operational modes:
LCD master transmitting mode
Camera slave receiving mode
ADC/DAC mode
(
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... s/i2s.html)
If we could setup the LCD master mode correctly, does it mean multiple led strips can be controlled by 1 esp32c3?

Those docs are wrong and that section needs to be removed from the C3 docs, thanks for pointing it out.
Edit: If you look at the master branch, the LCD/cam section already is removed there.
