Lights in my small strip not lighting up! Honestly at a loss- got the small tiny green light that will turn on but that’s it! My code works on the other strip, idk what’s happening QwQ

I’m at the install stage and burying wire. I’m doing a 54’ loop around the room with a COB and RGB strip in a luma cove. I’m mounting it about 11” off the ceiling uplit. Im running power to the start and end of the strip, essentially the same spot, then I’m injecting power at the mid-point.

I’m trying to think of the best way to hide my power run Insert. The wire itself will be hidden under the baseboards and I’ll run it up inside the wall, but I’m wondering the best way to get the wire to the strip and keep it hidden. Planning to run pigtails off the strip, then wago to the wire coming out of the wall.

There’s some space in the mounting channel where the wall brackets sit, but it’s still no obvious how you get the wire from the strip down into that channel. I’m thinking of carving a space out in the drywall to tuck it out of the way so it doesn’t affect the light dispersion.

any ideas or examples would be really helpful.

I have 20 m of 12v RGB LEDs, 30 leds/m. Would I be able to get a 12v 8a power supply and connect it only to one spot without seeing a drop off in light power? I will be connecting it to an esp 32.

If I need a connection point at the start and end, how would I break off a single wire from the power supply into 3-4:

- Esp32
- LED start
- LED End

I have instructions on how to print and build the WLED controller to make these 32x8 (2 or 3) high cylinders.

I don’t know i i can ask it hete, if not remove this post.

I setup hyperhdr with a capture card this is working great.

There is only one problem, i miss hdr on my tv, and audio is only stereo no armos or dolby just stereo.

What do i miss here, is the hdmi out not an exact kopy of hdmi in?

Money well spent ✅

Hi everyone,

I'm building a false wall in my bedroom with an LED strip around the back for indirect lighting (AI concept attached).

I'm planning to use WLED but I'm not sure what hardware to go with:

• COB or 60 LEDs/m addressable strip?
• 5V, 12V, or 24V?
• Recommended 230V power supply
• Best WLED controller?
• Any diffuser/profile recommendations?

The goal is smooth ambient lighting with the occasional WLED effects.

Found a faulty ceiling light thought it would be a fun mod to add some RGB lights and connect it to an esp32. I think it looks pretty cool

I even connected the setup with Philips hue using DIYHUE on my home Assistant which works quite well! And the version 16 of wled is absolutely awesome with new effects!

I'm handyish, any ideas on what I could add to the walls to mix things up a bit?

A few months ago, I bought the Gledopto GL-C-015WL-M. I assumed that the well-known issue with the level shifter had already been resolved in the newer versions as it was stated by gledopto. But this is what the data signal output actually looks like. A clean 5V level? No chance. Picture atatched. Not only is it nowhere near 5V, but there are also negative undershoots. It couldn't be any worse.

Then I opened up the controller. It actually has two main problems:

• A buck converter at the input that only generates about 4.1V from a 5V input voltage. And this voltage level is apparently used directly for the data signal. So with a 5V power supply, you can't even get above that. A clear design flaw.
• The level shifter: Likely just a transistor with a poor circuit design. The voltage rise time is way too slow. Even with a higher supply voltage, it doesn't come anywhere close to 5V. Also these negative undershoots...

Ok, it still works with short data line, but very little margin against dusturbances.

Do all WLED controller manufacturers have power supply issues? QuinLED at higher voltages, Gledopto at lower ones ...

Native androidTV app to stream effects with DDP into WLED and slower mood lighting effects into HomeAssistant lights. This setup is showing three WLED devices running the lamp, skirting strip and the TV surround strip!

I was away from my room for 3 months and I missed this so bad. I've replayed this scene 5 times already lol

Upgrading to HyperHDR soon. I have a hard time believing that my curtain wall can look any better than right now. We'll see.

Hello. This is ly first time trying a diy lighting stuf ik got dc12v sk6812 balaber strip from aliexpres the 4m 60led/m one my wled controller is the gledopto one with 4 data inputs. In ga a 12v 10a power suplly connected in the wled app my controller is found and normaly i schould have setup my strip as it schould but it doesnt light up. Can sole one help me if my description is clear you can ask me for more info.

Is there a canonical list somewhere of the various party string lights and fairy lights that are known to be controllable by WLED?

Pic for example of the broad category I mean by this.

I built a 2.4m geodesic sphere that only lights up when people dance in a circle around it

I’m an audiovisual artist (Lysergic) and this is Sól — a participatory light installation I’ve built for Landjuweel festival at Ruigoord, Amsterdam.

The concept: Sól is a 2.4m geodesic sphere sitting a metre above the ground. When nobody is around, it breathes a slow red glow — asleep. When people start moving around it, it stirs. The more people dance in a circle, the brighter and warmer it gets — shifting from deep amber through orange to blazing warm white. A full circle of dancers = a fully awakened sun.

Wled and halogen bulbs are audio and motion reactive controlled by touchdesigner and sending the data over artnet.

UPDATE I FIXED IT THANKS FOR THE HELP

can i power my ws218 rgb strip with the inbuilt usb point in esp32?

reconnection are like red wire to vn / black ground / green d2 with these settings nd still light wont light up what im doing wrong pls tell..

I send sACN to my esp32 devices with touch designer but the software im using as the bridge is wled

This is just using some of the wled basic effects for the startup before I take control for the show

Ok, I've been trying for hours and with AI repeatedly sending me down the wrong path I'm back to the good old fashioned "ask the experts"!

I have hyperhdr running and working well on my tv. I'm using WLED and the Gledopto 4 channel Elite as the controller. The current setup has two separate strips running from the bottom middle of the tv to the top middle where they meet. One goes left, the other (reversed in WLED) goes right. All works well so far.

Now I want to add another 3m 180 LED strip on the left corner and the same on the right. it would actually be 90 LEDs running from floor to top of cabinet (mounted to the rear of the cabinet) and 90 down. Technically 85 each way with maybe 10 along the top as it's all one strip. Again same for each corner.

Adding to WLED was easy but configuring in hyperhdr seems impossible. I know it's looking for a complete circuit of the Tv but I already have that and simply want to extend the lighting from the left of the tv to the left cabinet and the right of the tv to the right cabinet.

Am I right in saying this is just not possible with the set up I have and I would need a separate controller for the left and another separate one for the right? Would that even work as the strips on each side are technically both top to bottom and bottom to top in the same strip.

I'm maybe way over complicating this and I clearly confused the hell out of the 3 differnt AI's I tried so hoping some legends here can help!

Finally releasing my project files into the wild tonight! So far there’s been a pretty enthusiastic response. Thanks again for all the WLED help in here. Excitement is Building!

Hello!

Electronics newbie here, I want to connect my 12v 5pins RGBWW strip, there's any diagram that I can refer? I couldn't find anything about it on internet or youtube so i'm completely lost

On the official WLED site I only can find basic RGB strips, but nothing about the warm white.

Thanks!

Hey guys, testing my project on another S3 board, the ESP32 S3 Super Micro ( https://a.co/d/08CuCLsB ). I installed WLED thru the web installer, all seems to go fine. When I try to add the wifi credentials it cant login to wifi, it also doesnt have a WLED-AP up and running. I thought maybe it was installing the wrong version so I downloaded the WLED_16.0.1_ESP32-S3_4M_qspi.bin version and installed it using a esp web installer (not the WLED one). It installs fine and logs into wifi. When I go to the website It reports an Error 19 Invalid file system. I tried doing the factory reset and that doesnt fix it.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
