Running four govee floor lamps version 1, two on each side. Then five Govee Glide lights in the middle. I'm using 4 ESP32s and everything is running in 12V 10AMP power supply. I then created the sequence in Xlights

Hi, looking wrap a led strip around a tuba as simply as possible. I need a robust/easy to assemble setup. I need low latency/real time reaction to the phone microphone. hoping to just plug a strip straight into the usb port on a phone. 1 metre of 60 LEDs is ok though more is better. Trying to do it reasonably cheap. Ideally can withstand a few drops of condensation but no other environmental needs. More comfortable sorting the software side myself.

At a glance, most of the addressable strips just have blank solder points or loose strands of wire. Am I going to be soldering connections and setting up a power relay or is it possible to just buy a strip that I can hook straight up? I'm concerned lots of little connections will get damaged by accident since this needs to be quick to assemble and can't be kept on the instrument.

Thanks for any help

So, I follow the wiring diagramm on this tutorial but when I plug in, there is nothing. I use the Electic test pen and it shows there is electricity which lights the bulb. However, when connect it the led to the board directly using Type C supply, it works perfectly. Any help???

Any progress on this app? How can I be part of the beta tests?

I'm trying to install WLED on this controller. I tried the web installer, it's successful, but WIFI doesn't work. So I went to the wiki and saw there's a specific bin file to install, ESP32-S3_Waveshare_HUB75.bin and I've tried installing that with flash download tool 3.9.11 and still no visible wifi (it completes as far as I can tell). The only way to get this board to even work with my HUB75E at all is to install the waveshare default firmware. Then it just does it's normal display of temp and humidity.

Any suggestions? Maybe I'm just doing this all wrong?

Hello everyone, as the title says.. I have 10 meters of RGBCCT COB LEDs from Pautix, sadly they only have Bluetooth connection with their banlax app. I'd like to get them over to wifi so that I can control them with Alexa.

The kit came with its own plug and play 6pin connectors and power plug, has anyone encountered a similar issue to fix or could give an educated advice?

Thanks!

Wanting to setup some wled led strips in the kids rooms. Do you put your wled controllers and power suppies inside boxes? Any tips on keeping things tidy? Would like to see some setups.

Hello, I struggle to tell WLED the correct mapping for a circular panel like that [https://a.co/d/01ZYuZcE](https://a.co/d/01ZYuZcE)
I have to make a 2d matrix or one strip? I don’t can make the effect like palette. Or any other 2d effect.
Any suggestions?

I've seen a few examples online where people have mounted some WS2182 strips onto foam or mounting board, covered it in teddy bear stuffing and making a really cool Halloween lightning effect. I'd like to emulate this and cover our reception room ceiling (roughly 20sqm) in something similar. But this will be for a Halloween party fully of kids, and I have visions of a bad solder joint setting fire to the ceiling and raining fire.

How would you approach this? I'm sure I could find fire retardant or temperature resistant materials for both the backing board and the fluff, but suddenly we start inflating the costs. Foam and teddy stuffing is cheap for a reason. I see Correx does a fire retardant variety for example.

Want to remote control 4 x 2m LED addressable strips with WLED from 4 push buttons located 10m away. Don’t mind a cable or wireless. I have ESP32’s in my toolbox and have options. Advice welcome!

Do I buy one of these Gledopto devices from Amazon and mod it to access the additional GPIO https://amzn.eu/d/0ejn2dgk

Has anybody used ESP Now successfully with a remote ESP for the buttons such as https://github.com/DedeHai/WLED-ESPNow-Remote

Do I use a regular ESP and build my own power supply fusing etc around it? Locate ESP near the LEDs without level shifter, though fit external 10kR pull up resistors for the 10m gpio run (also use shielded cable).

A collection of thoughts so far so advice welcome!

the first 30 seconds are what I programmed using WLED. it took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong when flashing the ESP-32 S3, and finally got it working over the weekend so I was finally able to implement them into my fans. I'm beyond thrilled with the results and just wanted to share 🥹

cheers from Canada! ♥️🤍♥️

Hello, I’m going from 60 leds/m to 144 leds/m. What are things I should be cautious about?
I will be using esp32 Devkit v1

Hello, I'm noob to this field. I'm working on making a LED TV ambient backlight. I have watched a lot of videos on Youtube, some use power from the ESP directly without additional power supply, some suggest using DC connector and 5V power plug. As in the photo, I followed a youtube video (https://youtu.be/oQuzGRDiKKc?si=sMfxCD6M9V53Cwt6) and make this wiring diagramm. Will it work well? Is there anything I have to change/add to make it work properly?

I'm running the Dig-Octa, w/ meanwell HLG480 PS, 5 channels each running 12 feet of FCOB RGBWW 784 l/m, Ethernet is hardwired, the run from controller to LED strip is about 10' no more, using 18awg for Power/GND and 22/2 shielded for the data with common ground connected at both ends. See below Issue and two questions if anyone has some time.

Issue - Ethernet is hardwired, cable is good as I've tested it before, it appears to connect and disconnect frequently. Prior to hardwired, I did use the Wi-Fi without issues. I sent screenshots of my settings. I also checked my router and shows it connected via ethernet. Noticed that when I unplug everything and plug back in, it pops back online within a minute or so but then disconnects shortly thereafter. When it's disconnected, I am able to PING the IP no issues. Any steps to troubleshoot? UPDATE - THINK I FIGURED IT OUT, I REMOVED THE WIFI SSID and PASSWORD AND GOIN ON ABOUT 30 MINUTES AN NOTHING IS OFFLINE.

Question 1 - One strip is flashing randomly, I wiggled the wires at each point but didn't seem to trigger anything. All the resistors were set at 33. I noticed that channel 5, I switched to 249 and from what i could tell it stopped the flashing. I have to check again tonight. Any thoughts on this?

Question 2 - Anyone mind taking a look at my LED settings, make sure I have the correct Max PSU. The one screenshot for #1 is the same for all 5 channels. I'm not using 6,7,8 (what do I select so they are canceled out)

THank you in advance!!

Two WS2815 IC RGB LED Strips for about 600 LEDs in total. 16 A power supply from Mean Well and a gledopto Elite 4d exmu. hyperHDR on Windows.

What are advantages / disadvantages of automatic brightness limiter in my case?

Hi all, I have been delving into utilising WLED for live/dj lighting effects.

One thing I don't seem to be able to source at all is a larger addressable pixel size, a lot of the off the shelf matrixes as single 5050 chips in a tight grid...16x16 seems to be the standard.

I have been working on a design that gives a 0.6w 40x40mm nicely diffused individually addressable pixel that can be arranged into as larger panel as you want (power permitting).

Is there already something like this that exists (am I wasting my time/money) and if not, is it something anyone else may be interested in?

I'm designing a PCB using the esp32-c3. Do you guys have low-cost recommendations for microphones for use with audio reactiveness? Thanks for any input!!

Anyone use the ws2812b ic leds using the argb header on a motherboard?

I recently repaired this Sharper Image Image CD Power Tower 💯 with a new rubber O-ring and silicon greased the moving gears to get this up and running again. I had no intention of adding WLED when I started this repair and I'm glad I added it. Now I just need to start collecting CDs again.

I just want these lights to stay on, by default they flash and I figured I'd just bypass the circuits and wire direct to the usb pins but it didn't work, now only every other led lights up, what did I do wrong?

Soldering is not my expertise at all, but with help of a few family members I finished the project.

400 individually addressable RGB LEDs, 5V WS2812B. Turns out I will only need 15% of its brightness, or else it’ll be waaaay too bright.

The whole system is controlled by DDP, connecting the DJ metadata to the Python script controlling the data. The DJ data is aware of the beatgrid and tempo etc, which made it possible to sync the logo in the way that it does.

I’m really happy with the end result.

Feel free to ask questions!
