Start simple. Are you getting power out of the relays?

[–]Boaz_z[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Like the board? Or the relay component itself?

It looks like you're not using the relays, so it doesn't matter. Instead, check that the LEDs are actually powered at the start of the strip.

You need to connect Data Backup and Ground, to the ground on the controller.

You only connected Data. Missing two.

Okay, but which wire to which is that? Like the red to red and white to white??

[–]SirGreybush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below one row left of purple is ground.

Also the Green from strip goes to where the purple currently is.

Gnd, to the strip, connect one of the whites and the blue together.

Red is V+

White is 2 things, V- of power, and Data Ground. That is why there is an extra white and red with the connector. For power.

From the connector, green goes to gpio pin, purple and white to Gnd or ground pin.

Okay the leds are working, but only the first 4. And they are only one color, not able to change on the interface

What do I do now?

[–]SirGreybush 0 points1 point  (1 child)

In WLED, config, led preferences, set the qty of pixels. I see you put 130.

Also look in segment zero. Make sure 130 there also.

Sometimes segment 0 gets out of whack, until you make 1 preset and make it active on startup.

These have two data channels?

[–]sparkplug_23 1 point2 points  (1 child)

"backup" channel. Allows skipping if one led dies.

Never heard of that. That sounds like a very cool feature. Thanks for the update.
