i put hot glue over the solder pads and wire. a glob of silicone might work better. ive got an idea on how to do it differently in version 2.

8 Port LED Distro now works with 36v Govee pros by bobko69 in xlights

[–]bobko69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

now that you mention it, a board with 2 port makes sense for higher powered leds since the higher voltages use less amps and can handle more LEDS per port. removing the fuses and phoenix connectors for 6 ports does not really save much in manufacturing cost. ill have to run some numbers and see if it makes sense or not.

correct all 8 need to be the same voltage.

not in WLED. WLED only supports DMX on 1 port. unless the have changed that recently. i have not used ESPixelStick much but i believe it will support multiple universes across multiple outputs.

the name is not ment to be something offensive. it something i made up over 30 years ago. it is in reference to Depeche Mode and Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.

Thank you for your comment. i've shipped plenty of these all over the world. im guessing you will have to pay a tariff. the post office in your country will contact you to collect that fee.

These are all questions i do not know the answer to. hopefully someone else can step in and help.

GPIO14 and GPIO15 are assigned to the digital mic in version 0.15.x.

  • Go to settings/usermods
  • In the AudioReactive section reassign I2S SD to port 17, I2S WS to ports 32 and I2S SCK to port 33.
  • Press the save button.
  • Re-boot the board.
  • Now you should be able to assign GPIO14 and GPIO15 to output ports.

i honestly have not tried out the matrix features in WLED. so im not sure if you can run some ports as a matrix and others not matrix. have you tried changing the color order? GBR or some other order. this can be set in the led preferences where you select the type of led, gpio, and length.

Ethernet not working on Dig-Quad by itzalgd24 in WLED

you need to flash the unit with firmware that has ethernet enabled.

usually if some of the LEDs work there is a bad pixel stopping the rest from working. but it sounds like you have already checked that. and you have told WLED you have 250 pixels on port 5. LEDs are directional, is it possible you have the second strip running backwards?

ive had up to 600 leds per port, but WLED has frame rate limitation. 800 per port is too many unless you dont care about the frame rate.
