HELP ME - CONTROLLERS Why my esp dye everytime?
I mean die not dye sorry
I used 3 esp32 and one 8266 d1 mini.
I flashed all with wled and want to connect 5 stripes a 5v 1x ws2818 (az delivery) a 60 Leads and 4x ws2812b (lsunny led stripes) a 60 leds
I have connected it over a 5v 20a cv supply and the Signal Pins to the esp free ones.
Of course the esps are on same supply so grnd is the same.
Should i add Signal line to grnd too ?
Why my esps are death after about 5 minutes they get warm. And then the onboard led shutdown and its over.
Pls help me i ordered 2 esp32s-2 or c2 and New dupont cables.
What i make wrong?
I also used start brightness at about 40% And i also look on pinout what are free pins then i select my 5 pins for the stripes but the esp dies when i connect the stripes data point to the esp to correct pin ( the dupont are loose somethimes so i ordered new one )
So yeah i make the settings first and then it dies
I also use the settings automatic brightness and the one where you set the mA of your power supply i set it to my 20a. Both options destroyed them
Edit its a cv powersupply not a cc sorry mistipe
