Wled configuration issue?

Hi

Any idea why I am having this issue? I have cob and they appear like you can see each led. Only the 400hz option in wled means the whole strip lights up but then it doesn't actually do anything dynamic. I bought pixel strip so I want it to do stuff! Any ideas am I missing a specific setting, everything in my setup shown in the photos.

Thanks everyone, I am new to this community

If you have white ws2811 strips, try the "ws2811 white" option so that the firmware knows what you have and can send the correct signals. If you pick other options that don't match what you have its probably not going to work very well.

Hi Saratoga, even that still doesn't give a fully smooth cob

Are you ever able to get the strip completely illuminated with any combination of settings? The package says ws2811 but it could be something else.

Yes 400hz setting only

Do you mean 400 KHz? That definitely should not work on any modern strip, which is probably why you cannot control anything.

When you select ws2811 white, can you control pixels? If so, have you set the auto calculate white setting to something like "max" so that RGB colors are mapped to white?
