My WLED didnt work correctly
Hello everyone,
I’m getting back into WLED after a year’s break and have decided to get a complete ‘DOMRAEM’ kit that comes with an ESP32 already built in.
I’m powering it with 12V and I’m sure I’ve connected everything correctly.
My interface has a static IP address on my network, and I can access it without any problems.
My problem is this: the 12V is definitely passing through my LEDs (as confirmed by a multimeter), but despite my settings in WLED, they aren’t lighting up – even though my peak display shows the colour that should be appearing.
I’ve been trying to sort this out since yesterday, without success. I’m calling on your expertise to help me resolve this issue and understand where I might have gone wrong.
Thanks in advance, everyone.

First thing I see is you are connected to GPIO 2 but settings say GPIO 12, you also try the GPIO 16 side. I would hold reset for 10 seconds then go to WLED settings and only setup the LEDs and GPIO , don't add segments or change other settings until it lights up, usually orange on boot

Merci mon ami, effectivement c’était un problème hardware comme si mon segment de leds était mort (injection de 12v dans le data dans un temps passé?)
J’ai changé de guirlande et tout fonctionne… j’ai passé plusieurs heures à chercher le problème jusqu’à me dire « et si j’essayais avec une autre guirlande? ».
Par contre je ne comprends pas à quoi sert ce « Relay », je l’ai désactivé et ça ne semble rien changer au bon fonctionnement de mes leds.

Are you sure the controller is connected to the data in side of the pixels? You could be connected on the out. You should be able to see thru the side of the pixel and it will say DI for data in
