I have a 24V strip and an ESP32-WROOM-32 attached to it. For voltage I use a 24v adapter and a DC to DC converter. I convert the incoming voltage to 5v. And I have the led strip attached to the incoming voltage directly. Whenever I attach the 24v adapter the strip lights up white and only the first ‘pixel’ (a group of 6 leds) gets the color I set in WLED.
Whenever I use exactly the same setup same ESP32, same DC to DC converter, but I use a 12v adapter… everything works as expected. The leds are just very dim, especially the blue.
I’m using the correct side of the strip as it is the same side the official Govee (Realtek chip) controller was connected to.
So I tried a few things and it seems to be working when I use GPIO 2 instead of 16, which is great! It now at least changes to the color I set WLED to. Thank you so far
But I do still have some flickering when I set it to a solid color. Feels like noise on the line. Is there anyway to remedy this? I already have a 1000uF capacitor on the VCC and Ground of the led strip.
In that case I did it correctly. And it seems to be working fine now as well. Haven’t seen the glitchy flickering in a while either. So might have been a connection problem.
