Hey man, I've been really enjoying your videos. I want to get a sound reactive setup for myself too, but with no ambient noise. Can you please make a tutorial hooking up a 3.5 line in module to the ESP32 instead of the mic. It would be really apreciated
Quick tip from experience - GPIO2 is often shared with the onboard LED on ESP32/ESP8266 controllers, so if you don't want that to illuminate you should choose another GPIO pin
Wow I think this is exactly the video I needed. I have been racking my brain trying to install a level shifter to stop flickering but I have not tried a resistor yet. I will give that a go and see if I can stop my flickering issue.
Thank you so much! Just bought the FCOB BTF 24V 3ft 720 led light strip and was having flickering on the newest version of it and didn't think about using a resistor this was genius! Works well as single use or if using in segments with multiple data inputs. Anyone buying these or having the exact same problem I highly recommend using a resistor to fix the flickering issue. Size of resistor I used was a 220 one but thats all I had available maybe someone else knows the actual calculation for the resistor.
I had outdoor Govee lights (H6171) that I mounted on my house last year, and I was using the Govee controllers and apps to control them. Sadly, a lightning strike nearby this Summer burned out the controllers, and I am now in the process of cutting out the controllers and replacing them with ESP32's, mainly so I can hopefully avoid replacing the entire things -- it was a lot of work to get them attached to my roofline. It will also be nice to have more flexibility in the color designs: the Govee software is quite good, but I've used 2812s for other things and am really pleased with amazing control you get with WLED. Your videos have been really helpful, since I am fairly sure the Govee lights are just 24v 2812 LED strips at heart! You likely saved me a LOT of time figuring out the flickering issue I am SURE I would have seen next, so thank you!!!
Hey Chris, would you mind doing the 15 m setup wit 24v RGB COB ? Thanks ! Love watching your videos. Soon going to do my 1st project. Keep up the good work!
Great video. I needed this simple approach to help me get started. Everything makes sense now and I'm looking forward to my first project which will be an LED corner lamp. Thanks for the great content sir.
Hi Chris, I hope you are all well, Thank you again for a great tutorial, the resistor I think was 470 ohm, From your own experience is it always the same ohm resistor or does it differ? Many thanks 🙏
Glad I came across this video because i was having flashing issues with my RGB BTF cob! Quick question though, what resistor are you using? Does it matter the amount of impedance?
excellent content brother - quick question can the ESP32 drive the 15m replicating the same sample you demonstrate with the Domestic Automation ? ( 12v and 24v ) - also for 15-20 Meters run do you recommend 24v to avoid power injection?
Why didn't you change LED voltage in WLED settings from 5V default to 2815 12V, since it has taht option @ChrisMaherDIY? Isn't this a necessary step for this setup?
Hey Chris! First of all I love your videos! you always offer great explenation on very small details. but i have a question regarding multiple led strips. do i need to use multiple controllers for multiple strips or can i use one controller and send the data to the multiple strips with a wago clamp for example? So I would use one controller and send the data from it to the floor lamps, the ceiling Leds and the Leds around the TV? Greetings from Austria!
Could you make a video about extending the Govee H6173 light strip I want to put them around my house I have 4 boxes of 2 rolls each I want to join them together so as not to put them separately, thank you
5:54 insted of using the phone charger i can use the ESP32 development module (or expansion module for ESP32) that i can buy on Ali for avoid two power lines? it supports up to 16 v and it has a jumper of 5v, im i right?
Hey Chris, just picked up my acrylic sheets for my upcoming speaker stands. in your DIY video, to what dimension was the acrylic sheet cut to? 30x30cm for example Would appreciate if you could back to me, so I can complete the build :)
Thanks for the message. I'm out of town for a bit so I can't check right now but I think I left about an inch overhang on every side of the speaker. But really it just comes down to what you think would look good. No right or wrong answer, just personal preference!
Appreciate the answer, but could you get back to this comment, once you're back home and get the measurements? would be lovely! have a good day in the meanwhile :)@@ChrisMaherDIY
Hi Chris If in in the app scrol at the efects then all my efecta go out of view and then he didn't react well anymore do you know what the problem could be thanks in advance
Hey Chris, your videos are fantastic. My problem is that my bench setup like yours works, but the ESP32 controllers keep burning up. I see other post with the same problem but no good solution. I am using the USB-c ESP and 12v or 24v and my guess is the ground or data is back feeding and killing the ESP32. I am using a USB-c power source for the esp but a 12v power supply for the the LEDs, the 12v + only goes to the LEDs so it’s the data or the ground killing the boards.
@tsilikasp hey bud...the only thing I noticed later was govee pulled a fast one..one of my strands the reversed the polarity (or maybe it's built into those barrel resistance things) but what I mean is...going out of one strand data is green power is red ground white...on two separate strands (from the same box) coming in should be the same colors however on mine on the one strand...the power was WHITE and the neutral was RED. unfortunately I fried some outdoor govee permanent lights figuring it out. Long story short. Check the polarity again(I know I know...do it again anyway...but SLOWLY) hopefully your issue was something simple as that and you didn't blow 500 on a oversight. Cheers and best of luck friend.
Thank you for video. I am a builder looking to do this on gables hidden in f channel for a version of permanent christmas/ambient light. any idea on runs with the 18g wire being 40’. will have 4 runs longest strip light needing to be 71’
For what it’s worth I recently ran 96’ using a 12v 150w psu 30 led/m ws2811 strips end to end with power injected on the end of the run in my entry and can get 100% brightness on white without any issues at all. I am also using an esp32 GLEDOPTO controller on a single gpio. No flicker and colors are perfect.
Everything i keep reading online keeps talking about putting an inline fuse between the strip and the power supply, but no videos i watch online have that. Everyone online seems to be adamant about using an inline fuse. What are your thoughts here and why don’t you use them? Also I’m in the UK and we have fuses in our plugs, but I’m guessing that just protects the house wires between.
@@Mr.Meme01 I'm using 12v now, would you recommend it for that?
9 หลายเดือนก่อน
Voltage is not the issue, it is current so usually with 5V you have more current. Inline fuses are generally needed when you have multiple strips / injection points powered from a big power supply so if a strip fails it might not trigger the overcurrent protection from the power supply but it still be can too much current for the strip to be a fire hazard. Quinled has an excellent article about this in his website
@ he said "the strip" so I'm assuming he only has one 5m max strip, I wouldn't worry about putting a fuse on that if it's 5v especially since the power supply is likely small. He said it's 12v so even with just one and smallish power supply the hazard is low. But just to be safe yeah he should put in a fuse on it.
@@umirza it depends on how strong your power supply is, if it's stronger than what can power 1 strip, yeah you probably should add it. It's not an absolute must but it's always better to just add extra safety measures and forget about it instead of leaving it and then in the back of your mind you worry about it.
So, let's say hypothetically....forgive me it's my first diy project, that you have a strip of 24v cob LED's that you have already cut off the jst connector, is the strip ruined?
These are no good especially for $50 they loose the WLED program and there is no way to reflash it,stay with the $5 esp 8266 you will Thank me not Chris !!!

Is there more information on determining which resistor to use?
It's in the description.
470
Great vid. Im thinking about incorporating wavy glass into my build to get an interesting effect on the wall but I'm lazy
Thank you for this. Just to be clear, the controller is 5V but can be used to control a 24V LED strip?
How many LED lights is too much to power by a doorbell transformer?
So which is the best to use the ESP or the Ws2815 ????
How do you know which [size?] resistor is appropriate?
@chris thanks for these videos. Could you please do a video with M5StickC and led strip. Thank you
Glad I came across this video because i was having flashing issues with my RGB BTF cob! Quick question though, what resistor are you using? Does it matter the amount of impedance?
Did you connect the 5V ground (from the controller) to the 12V ground? 1:51
This is very interesting!! Is it really necessary to jump the ground from the controller to the 12v PS ground?

Please do the WS2811 12V next.
I wrote under another video before I saw this video so my question is I have a led strip 4pin 5v can I use this method but with a 5v adapter?
It is support audio reactive?
How are you encasing the board for installation?
How do I use the controller without wifi? I am setting up in a booth at an expo without wifi.
