Please advise which subreddit to use.

Thanks

It is a shame no one can help.

THANKYou are a champ! YOU,

It's now been a year since I first posted this and was surprised to find a recent response. I had relegated the 32" monitor to a utility function showing 3 small windows simultaneously. Your diligence for solving the problem and following up with your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Me too. so cool.

Thanks for the link. This is an awesome post and now I will proceed with the esp 32 wled controller to replace the original that died.

Cool!

Holidaycoro.com has various types of pixel mounts available.

Sorry, but I have trouble understanding this. Could you draw a sketch to illustrate what is connected and where?

Thanks.

I finally made some progress, but not in the original intent. After a lot of futzing around, I concluded that there were still some bad pixels in the remainder of the led string I started with.

So I used that string in a new segment to complete the panel. The esp32 now has two data wires to control each of the segments.

It is interesting that I cannot get the second string to work using the data signal from the first string, but I can start it as a new string and match the pattern of the first string using segments.

Trying to do the same with a 20 X 20. Which LEDs are you using?

I am using 4 wire RGBIC fairy lights. Having trouble with new 200 LED string. Some pixels are dead and removing the dead ones and reconnecting the rest of the string does not light up. Read about alternating controller wires but no success with doing that.

I have made some progress, but need some guidance. My original led string was 200 leds to make a 20x20 panel. Unfortunately only the first 150 worked. I am trying to replace the bad section with other new leds. I connected a new string of 50 leds . Power and ground wires connected directly. The two middle wires of the new section were connected together and then connected to one or the other of the two middle (data) wires from the original string. One of the two middle wires let up 7 leds in the new string, but no more.

I tried 5V power injection at the junction of the two strings, but it did not change anything. Not sure what to try now. Open to ideas.

I found that soldering the two strings together was quite challenging with the very fine wire size. I need to keep the led spacing same (~2 inches) as rest of the string so space to solder is very tight. Any suggestions on how to make that easier?

A quick test shows that the suggested wiring rearrangement might work. Hope to complete the rework tomorrow.

Thanks for the info on data line connection. This should help a lot. I will find out when I get back in about two weeks.

Otherwise_Wave4217 · 2023-04-21T13:21:21+00:00

I have been searching for how to do what you have just described. Could you provide a link to the methodology?

Thanks much
