Feature Request: Add an Optional controller board checkbox that includes 500mA for the controller. #3

Open distante opened 7 months ago

In the examples page there is a comment about the board consume:

In addition, approximately 0.5 A will typically be necessary for the WLED controller.

I was trying to calculate the maximal amount of WL2810B leds that I can drive with an 5V/8A PSU but I totally forgot about the Board itself. Even when I saw the examples some weeks ago.

I think it would be good to have an extra input and checkbox to include the amperage needed to drive the board if wanted so the calculations take into consideration those like in the example.
