I recently upgraded to ESP32 because my 8266s would not connect and I could get no pixels to light up. Now my roofline lights up, but I have no control. They are all different colors and pixelations. I have loaded WLED 12.0 on the ESP32s and WLED - AP will show up and when I enter in my network …

Yes, have th ESP 32s hardwired to my power supply. When they are powered I get the WLED-AP in my available wifi connections. But when I go there it redirects me to the WLED startup page, I enter my browser , password etc But when I do it says Client IP : Not Connected, then hit save and it will…

Also, I cannot see the WLED devices (two boards) coming up in my network on my gateway for my router.

What type of ESP32 board have you got? Are you powering the board via 5V or 3.3V? There have been reports that the onboard 5V-3.3V conversion is weak on some boards (never seen it myself). If you can get to the WLED-AP you can control the LED programming, just leave the WiFi entries empty and Sav…

I am using an ESP32 WROOM and Im using a 60Amp 5 V power supply. The 3.3V output of the board is being used for my logic conversion and I am getting 3.3v from the board too the logic converter. Don’t know the type of router but I am using DHCP, no static IP addresses. I will try one board at a ti…

Pin settings are under LED Preferences. You can choose any GPIO (less than 33?) not already in use . What browser are you using to connect to the GUI? I’ve had some versions of Apple devices (and others) try and “uppercase” the first letter of my password entries whether I wanted that or not.

Ok I’ve had it. I think I’m Going to switch back to My ESP8266 boards. When I connect the 32s they do not have an internet connection but my said and password are entered correctly. However under my settings the work comes Up With WLED when I’m standing at the board and I can change things but dif…

Have you changed your router/WAP since last year? I’ve noticed WLED won’t connect to wifi networks that don’t support older 802.11b connections. My guess is that it’s between the older TKIP encryption vs. AES only encryption. When I toggle off the b support, they no longer connect, 8266 or 32. I hav…

Wow. I went to bed fuming over this and I looked at my router again and I noticed that the way they put it in was all in CAPS. I changed it back to the way I had it and it worked. I have some segments but lit but I was expecting to replace section so that will be the easy part. Thanks for all the he…

OK, First I want too tell you thank you for ll the help. I finally got the ESP 32 boards to be found on WLED-AP and my router, but I still had problems. I have actually switched back to the ESP8266 and both are discovered and on my network. So my problem now is that I replaced a string of LEDs on…

Glad you’re connected now at least! [image] bluedke70: Im actually running a parallel string from the center eave of my house outward in both directions…they are connected to the same control line. I understand this has worked for you in the past, but you might find your debugging easier if …
