วีดีโอ

You're a saviour 🙏🙏

Thank you for this detailed video. I download the Flash tools with your help and just wait my stuffs bought from Amazon and Aliexpress today. Very cool that you show the issues : The one with the (1) in the Wled.bin file name and the USB charging wire one. We all learn from your tests and save time. 😉

Quick question. You are powering both MCU and ledstrip from the same PSU. I have this flickering problem too but i use separate PSUs to the MCU and led strip.(tried using the same but blew my first RPI zero 2w..) How would i go about wiring it up like you did but with separate PSUs?

MQTT Explorer is also available for Linux. If you don't want to use HomeAssistant I recomment using Docker and containers for mqtt, Node-Red and all the other Services you like to use. Cheers!

It says offline. Could you please tell me how to fix this?

Hey plz help I cant see any option in my wifi settings saying wled ap plz help

Thank you for a simple easy way to flash my esp8266. Every other video seemed to just show you how to do it through the web browser and the moment I disconnect it from my computer it no longer works. Now I'm up and running for on the go led projects. Appreciate it!

Thanks! Easiest way to device manager is to right click on start button and selecting Device manager. :=)

Wled is not showing up in network,this just started, I had everything working great for months

now i know.. thanx..

Good day sir. Where to get password?

Great video just hoping you could help please, when i used the Flash tool, select the correct com port and firmware, The tool starts "connecting" then a few dots then lines more dots then lines then fails, Any suggestions what i am doing wrong ?

I keep getting an error message, and every board I try.

I know this video is a bit older but what would a more permanent application/set up look like ?

Wled not install esp8266

This video is simply and instructive bit most important.. has some funny moments... GOOOD videoi! :)

For soldering, it helps a lot to add a little flux paste so it melts over where you soldier (this also protects the board/items nearby w/ a layer of liquid) You want to heat the metal tho, so the soldier attracts to the heated metal. So you heat the pin and pad of the component, then you apply the soldier to the hot pin n it will melt around the pin perfectly. Hopefully this is helpful (I see it's been a yr since uploaded)

what is the password of esp8266 sir?

I got to the step where you open ESPEasy Flasher and then flash wled onto esp but i get an error reading "Flash failed with arg--port com6 --baud 115200 write_flash 0x0 .\WLED_0.12.0-b4_ESP8266 (1).bin are the Settings correct?" i have no idea what i did wrong, i followed your steps exactly. any idea what i should do?

Thanks for all that close up detail! I've had the level shifters in a bag for an age, tried to power some sk9822/apa102 without the shifter, loads of problems. Thought I'd give it a go.. Followed the basics on the level shifter - which on other videos was terrible about the wiring, and from yours, I have a fully working 78 strip on top of my Bambu Lab 3d printer. Thanks! from UK :) Liked and Subbed!!

i configured a wifi password in WLED-AP and dont remember now... i cant connect anymore. how i reset wled wifi settings ?

Not good , when light off and on Datta furrrr

I don't have the MQTT item in the settings at all. FW is up to date. Can you advise me how to solve this?

Any idea why I don't get any color blends? I get solid red green blue only. No blending between colors and no white. If I set the color to white the led strips shuts off. I'm using ws8215 60 leds / meter strips

Same problem as another commentor. How do you configure the wifi? I can't connect because it wants a password.

What happens if you don't have a port?

Really great video. Thank you bro. Keep up the good work. YoubsVed me a tone of headaches. Great job!!!!!

Nice info here, thanks for the deep dive and presentation. Helped a lot! :)

Wrong logic level shifter. Use a 74HCT125 instead

I was finally able to use WLED after many frustrating attempts to use the website flashing technique. As soon as I followed this, it all just worked. I'm ready to start my matrix project now. Thanks very much for this video!

What about the driver? cant find one

Great video, what effect would you recommend if we want to cycle through all solid colors in a seamless manner (ie fade from color to color)

If you power the 8266 via USB cable then, 5v from the 8266 to the led strip, will you ground the 8266 directly to the led strip?

Thank you so much for mentioning things that did not work, as soon as you said something about putting in the signal in the wrong end I knew immediately what I was doing wrong and now everything works great.

Very helpful video, thanks for going over which wires are for which device and how they interact with each other

Okay, so this is pretty basic and exactly what is needed. This verified what I thought. No idea how or why these things work but I don't think that is necessary. Thanks!

Bro.. .Whats the default password?

Hi, I want to use wled with my ws2815 5 meter led/m 60 leds. Can I use just jumper as wire or do I need 18 awg wire to connect ESP32+ power supply+ 12v to 5v converter + ws2815

Same for ESP32 and WS2812b ? Can u do same as this too?

Really nice and simple explanation. keep it up for super cool help...

Thank you. This worked.

just repeited that. Awesome!

Thank you for the great demo! I was able to load WLED to my ESP8266 but I cannot seem to get it to connect to the WiFi. At the end of your video you just clicked on WLED-AP in your WiFi list and it just went straight to the website. Mine is asking for a network security key? I'm assuming it's not my router WiFi password as it does not work.

You shouldn't use 18 gage wire on a breadboard. 22 gage max.

Thanks for the video!!! It was perfect and helped a lot. 👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing! I had heard that for the WS2811 strips a logic level shifter was needed but decided to try my 55ft string without it and sure enough when displaying white there was a noticeable flicker. Fortunately I had ordered a set of these and when I installed it on the 3.3v output of my ESP32 the flicker went away. I've heard these are less than ideal for upconverting the signal, however, it seems like there aren't a lot of other solutions that will work with a digital signal.

Isn't the original password 1234?

I put the pins into a bread board 1st, then solder, keeps everything lined up

dude you lost me on the failed flash, i had the same error you did then you went off and did some crazy sht. then you renamed the file and it flashed. mine doesn't have a space or parenthesis. smh

Your going to have to use many of these esp8266 if you want many ws2811's that's a cert , it will not run many off one controller
