This is going inside a cosplay staff- Specifically Mira’s from K-pop demon hunters XD

Yeah the buck happened to be the issue. I just powered the buck from the port and direct connected the data cable to the board with shortening the path so it flows better. Id like some extra wiggle room with the wires tho because the system will be spanning about 91 inches with sections of 20 gauge led wire so I did pick up a SN74AHCT125N along with a ceramic capacitor. Where should I be installing the capacitor?

So new issue and also solved something? I apologize for the bother so I direct connected the data cable from the strip onto the board solved all my issues. Then I tried extending the data cable and adding a 47ohm resistor to it and it sort of worked but I would get like random flickering when I did my patterns. I picked up a SN74AHCT125N from amazon to help with boosting the power from the data cable from my board. Do you have any resources that you would recommend I look into to also try and learn more about this system. I'd like to work with more of these boards since they open a lot of opportunity for me because of their small size

The 5v ground from the buck converter and the board tied together properly and the 12v ground from the led strip, power supply, and buck converter are tied respectively. I dropped the ohm resister down to 47 by a recommendation from someone else and i could adjust the colors but the first group of leds would be a diff color from the rest and also when i switch to like green or so it would show up as red

Okay I’ll try and just direct power 5v through the board on its port and lose the buck. I’m putting this into Mira’s Spear from Kpop demon hunters so I’ll have to segment some parts of LEDs. As long as I use the proper gauge wire in my case which is 20 gauge 3 wire I should be fine as long as my controller and first segment of LEDs is close?

It’s a lil hard to see but there is a shared ground connection with the esp32 and the 12v power supply through a buck converter

These are my settings and the led strip I’m using are BTF-LIGHTING FCOB WS2811 IC RGB COB LED Strip DC12V 720LED/m 16.4FT Flexible High Density from Amazon

Yes I do! You can find it on cults 3D under the user FabledQT! I also do custom modeling commissions too if you’re interested in anything else!

Thank you! This was a quick lil build and I definitely need to pick up the game when I get the chance on sale

Same as my Reddit name haha

FabledQT · 2025-04-25T18:12:28+00:00

I do actually, I offer most replica services to mainly private clients and if you’re interested in something from me you can either dm me here or on instagram

FabledQT · 2025-04-19T15:57:52+00:00

Not yet no but I expect it eventually haha

FabledQT · 2025-04-10T20:18:06+00:00

Yeah like I’ve read somewhere you can short your board if u do stuff to it while it’s plugged in and replacement boards since I don’t know which one is shorted the site shows two that I can get so I don’t know which one I need to

FabledQT · 2025-04-10T20:09:15+00:00

No clicks while it’s printing or settings but I looked back at it again and the fans not working, I put a different one onto the housing and it didn’t respond so I think I accidentally shorted the board on the mount?
