How to connect WLED on a NodeMCU to your WiFi and setting a static IP

- This video continues our WLED series with getting it connected to WiFi and setting a static IP address so you can easily reconnect to it repeatedly in the future.
In my example, I'm using Google WiFi and a PC, but the steps are repeatable on macOS and any other WiFi Router that allows you to see its settings.
My favorite network scanner on a Mac is called LAN Scan: www.iwaxx.com/lanscan/
The PC tool I'm using is Advanced IP Scanner:

I'm also going to change my network router in the future, so I'll update this to cover the same concepts with other hardware when I do. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Really great video. Thank you bro. Keep up the good work. YoubsVed me a tone of headaches. Great job!!!!!
Your gateway address will always be the address of your router. It’s called gateway because it’s to where devices send data packages “out of your network” to the internet.
If your device doesn’t require internet connection, you don’t even have to set it up.
Thank you for this video, very helpful. Should this process be the same for ESP32? I am going to try using this process to see what happens. I have had a heck of a time getting my ESP32 to connect. I can sometimes get to connect to my phone's hot spot but then when i try to connect to my home network i have no success. Most of the time i can not connect at all, get stuck when it wants me to configure the wifi. very frustrating.
So could you have just put in the dynamic IP that it auto-generated? Think it was a .31 or something, as the static IP? Or does your network only allow for IPs 1-20 to be static?
Dr. Zz leaves out crucial information for a novice you over analyze. is there anyone who can just do a step by step instruction?
You could always resort to the good old-fashioned method of reading the documentation.
Cool video, but...
I can connect to the home network and control UT whe it is connected to my computer but once I power it from a power supply it will not connect. While connected to the computer the led flashes but it doesn't flash when it is connected to a power supply. I have tried looking around on the internet and asked the same question on reddit but there is no help. And ideas?
I tried the static IP with a few of my ESP32's but it didnt work ☹️
Instead I assigned them static IP addresses through my router 😁🥳 And it worked 🎉
Any material on how to do this, i cannot get my esp82 to work and need to go through my router i feel
thanks!
Wled is not showing up in network,this just started, I had everything working great for months
If i have more than 255 nodemcu than i do setup static ip to connect all of them to router
that is all well and good . but how about the disconnecting issues ? I've been experimenting with this WLED , off and on for a few years , and the NodeMcu always disconnects , I have to unplug it , the plug it back in , Who wants to put this thing outside for a lighting display, just to have to do this, If you have a solution for this, Please let me know .
Thank You
Hey plz help I cant see any option in my wifi settings saying wled ap plz help
I've watched your vids about the ESP8266 controller, connected to an LED strip (I'm using WS2812B strips). I have two questions. 1) I know it's possible to wire multiple strips end-to-end; forming a long continuous strip. My first question isn't about joining sections, rather, my question is whether it's possible to connect two separate LED strips on the same ESP8266 controller? The reason I'm asking is because of my next question, 2) If two independent strips could be connected, can the ESP8266 controller provide separate effects and/or colors over each strip? Currently the data pin (D4) is used for a standard single LED strip setup; I'm wondering if other D pins could be used to program additional LED strips independently. Or perhaps in conjunction with the software, there's a way to independently program each LED strip. Again, my second question is dependent upon my first question. I have a feeling, the ESP8266 can only handle one strip per one controller...still it would be cool to control different strips from a single controller.
I'm working on a project which will require two separate controllers due to the design concept; however it would be much easier if I could use a single controller for providing effects & colors over two separate segments of the design.
Hope to hear back from you and keep up the good work!
From the WLED wiki pages, you can connect up to 4 strips to an esp8266 or esp32. I'm still looking for the exact answer myself.
I've got more strips on order to do a test with a esp32.
I have seen in the WLED page for LED settings you can add another LED output, but I've not seen more controls on the main page for the 2nd group you add 🤔🤔
I'll give it go when the new strips & power supply arrives 👍
You use 1 Data pin, connect multiple strips together, and create different "segments" on the WLED app.
WLED version 13+ you add up to 10 led strips 🥳
I've got 4 on my esp32 to pins 2,4,13 & 14. Then in the app I've added 4 segments for each strip. Works really well too 👍
Esp8266 I think has been increased to either 4 or 8 strips/pins.
Great video and breakdown of info. I tried the exact same process and I could not get the module to connect to my internet. I also tried to set it as a static IP and it will show up in my wifi networks available but I am still not able to find it through my router. Any other ideas to try
I'm wled specialists. I'm here to help.
i configured a wifi password in WLED-AP and dont remember now... i cant connect anymore. how i reset wled wifi settings ?
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
It turns out it was a power issue. Powering 5 meters of 8215 from my USB apparently does not give enough juice to run white. Once I added a power supply everything looks great.
I’m not getting something. My Wi-Fi is called SPOT. I changed WLED-AP to Christmas Lights. I can either use SPOT or Christmas Lights. Not Both. I can NOT connect WLED to ANY Apple device no matter what I do. I did pull the ESP32 board off the Dig-Uno & I can still access Christmas Lights. All was working until I updated the dig-uno from 12 to 13. Any ideas.
Do not change WLED-AP at all!!!
Bro after successful connection only works 10 minutes, after its shows connection reset error
I tried all version of firmware. Every firmware same problem
Am using esp8266 module
Please help
Bro.. .Whats the default password?
wled1234 i tried so much time
It works on me.
Not good , when light off and on Datta furrrr
this wled is a waste of time
pffffff lol
not of this stuff exist let alone work lol
It only works for those prepared to put in the effort to learn it. 😉
@@SpeccyMan thats why youtube so you dont have to learn it but its ok
prefer criminal damage ... lol
