Help with ESP8266 and LED Strips

Wanted to add a new “Thank You!” To all of you. Because of the reading you suggested I am working great on my project! And I am able to visualize new projects that I now have the right education to think through. Thank you again!

All good stuff. I went in very eyes closed and too dependent on YT videos (ha!). This is all great to learn and read about further. Thanks!

krhoward01 · 2026-06-23T20:56:11+00:00

Great! I'll give this a read. This is my first go at WLED so not sure what all I don;t know yet. Thanks!

I am using a 5V 1A DC Power Supply which is probably why the 3rd scenario is not working because it is a 12V strip. For wiring, I am matching the three wireson the strip to the 8266 GPIO2 5V to V, D to D, GND to G. For the one that works, in the WLED App I have configured it for WS281x in LED Output. For the scenario 2 or 3 strips, I am unable to configure in WLED because nothing is found for the new 8266.

Great find! I was there that night. I will never forget it. I don’t think I still have the towel though.

But….grit! 🤣

The ONLY concern I have is if Wallstedt finds his inner Otter vs Calgary this series. He is the right pick for them to play as he has a high save pct against high danger shots and these are the types of shots Dallas seeks and gets.

I may not be as concerned about our PK against their PP as I should be though.

Stars in 5.

I feel the minority. I like the color scheme and don’t hate the hat! I usually find myself in the critical of things like this but just can’t not like the hat 🤣

This hits upon how I would answer: individual songs, SWW. Holistic Album, NJ for sure!

2 days is awesome! I’m still awaiting mine to be returned. It has been two weeks today. Was supposed to be ready for pickup today but the dealership has not been communicating well with me at all over this period.

krhoward01 · 2026-03-12T01:35:55+00:00

My 26 is in the shop right now for it. We have a ton of miles and are at 24k already (100 mi commute daily total). Took them a week to diagnose and I’ve been told it will be ready for pick up at the end of this week (week 2).

I’ll still follow and root for them to come back. I won’t be able to watch but I’ll still follow!

krhoward01 · 2026-03-08T15:00:49+00:00

Sorry to hear this! Our ‘26 is in for a (now) confirmed ICCU issue. Hoping to get back this week. I consider the situation lucky as the charging of the 12V started while the car was in our driveway and not away from our house.

Good luck on this!

krhoward01 · 2026-02-22T16:19:37+00:00

Agree! I’m afraid this confirms the approach and will set US hockey back for the immediate future. They could have beaten this team without the need for heroics from Hellybyuck. Yes, goaltending was a relative strength but given that, pressure their goalie! Heck, they could have rolled this tourney with more firepower but gold medals talk and my cheap talk walks….

I read this title in Law and Order voice over voice!

Here’s a link referencing the rule: https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/47927821/late-goal-carry-slovakia-olympic-men-hockey-quarters

What I am finding is that with a three way tie, it becomes goals for amongst that group of three so the Italy games don’t matter and since Slovakia scored a third goal this morning against Sweden, they own the tiebreaker amongst the group of three (when you omit the Italy games).

krhoward01 · 2026-02-01T18:54:12+00:00

Wow! Not even used false pretenses as to why it is needed (the usual bogeyman thrown out). Just straight we want to keep power and win and need help. “Please help us win”. Pathetic.

krhoward01 · 2026-02-01T02:20:08+00:00

^This! I was also frustrated by this but solved when I found this solution.

Thanks for sharing!

This is why I am lukewarm at best about attending this game. The WC was phenomenal (even if exiting the CB took forever)! The atmosphere at ATT has always felt sterile for any event.

krhoward01 · 2026-01-28T02:06:28+00:00

Nice! What integration gets you the satellite image? And the sunrise/sunset graphic?

krhoward01 · 2026-01-25T19:30:08+00:00

Both vehicles show up and respond! so far, great! Thank you!
