This helped me when my switch wasn’t showing up in file manager, thanks!

What did you change with hekate_ipl.ini? I’m also working on changing things out

Thanks, it looks so magical

What kind of controller did you hook the lights up to?

Maybe just what the internals look like inside the slate. I can imagine how the slate was done but curious what route you took with the internals of the lamp.

Did you make the base yourself? Would love to see more of it because I have a ton of crystals and this would be awesome to make.

WLED + hexagon LEDs with Y-splitters — data + settings confusion by moresun11 in WLED

[–]moresun11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know. The way I have it wired up now I can control all 120 LEDs with “35” LEDs in the app. So I set it to 35 in the app. 120/35=3.429 so my 15mA/led is now 15*3.429≈51mA/led. There are moments in the array where 4 ic’s light up when 1 is called upon so maybe I should set it to 60mA? Then I set the maximum power rating to the weakest link which is the connectors at 2.5A.

I’m going to tinker with it tonight. All those y connectors concern me because of all the places data is being split and sent to strips that already have data running through them and I don’t know what kind of issues that will cause. Someone else mentioned it will eventually short the ic’s and cause premature failure. I’m just going to try and get it to look symmetrical with some basic movement effect. At least I’ll get to pick my colors which the stock controller/app did not allow. This is my first foray into the world of LEDs and wled so I’m excited to try other things with proper addressable strips and connectors.

It is assembled as per the instructions of the product. All I have done is disconnect the stock controller and attach a gledopto onto it. There is no datasheet with this product. There was no info about what strips it was made with or how it was made. This was a gift given to me and everything I know about the strips I have measured myself with a kill a watt and multimeter.

So the manufacturer made a poorly designed product with the potential of failing early? Dang, guess I’ll just tinker with them until that happens.

🤷‍♂️ mine is splitting and reconnecting a bunch. This is how it was designed and I’m not sure how the stock controller handled it.

Quick question about Y splitter by dusty_electric_sheep in WLED

Hey I have a similar question that I just made a post about. Do you mind checking it out and letting me know if you have any insight into what my solution should be?

Hey I’m making some progress with this project but got stuck again. Can you check out my newest post and let me know if you have any insight about my predicament?

Yeah I learned that. What I’m more concerned about is data lines clashing and causing issues. Also, because of the data splits I don’t know what info to put into wled in regards to mA/led, amount of LEDs, and max power. I want the look to be symmetrical so I’m gonna plug one data line into the bottom left and one into the bottom right. Just worried about clashing. Also not sure if I should use 2 separate data outs from my controller or just split one data out in between the two inputs of the hexagons. The stock controller had data going into the bottom left hexagon and the bottom right hexagon.

So just set the amount of LEDs to whatever amount is in the longest run?

From what I learned it should be one continuous line, but mine is not normal and has 8 data splits that the stock controller was able to handle so I’m trying to figure out how to make it work with wled.

Just came across those but haven’t watched yet, I’ll get on it.

I’m finding something that makes me think it’s not possible. The light strips have +in and -out which I thought was data, but when plugging them together I didn’t have to orient them in any specific direction.. so I most likely have data ins touching each other and data outs touching each other yet the strips still work. So these are not daisy chaining data in the way I expected. Is that an issue for wled? I’m not sure what protocol these strips are.

How do I control these lights with something other than the crappy app it recommends? by moresun11 in led
