Hello everyone, I come to this community which seems very friendly and competent so that you can shed some light on it. As a beginner in the world of LED strips, I have everything to learn ^^ I want to create ambient lighting using a 5M SK6812 RGBW addressable 60Led/M LED strip. I’m going to sect…

I doubt that you will find one on a board. Best bet would be to get some prototype board and solder it to it. Example: https://www.amazon.com/QeeaHuuo-Prototype-Soldering-Compatible-Kits-Blue-34pcs/dp/B0CNC5731J Even better option would be to solder a dip socket to the proto’ board and then you can…

Hi guys, Thank you @Jinx for your explanations. Using a proto card doesn’t really appeal to me, especially since it won’t be easy to hide all that afterwards. Use a TX0108 why not but without being sure of the result… While resting today, I cut and plugged in my LED strips and I have flickers an…

You could likely use that BTF controller, though it will not have WLED on it and will be limited to whatever fx they have included on it. If you still want to use the SN74xx shifter: You would not need a very large bit of prototype board to solder the shifter to. It would even fit right under your…

Hi guys, Well I continue with the ESP32 and WLED. I ordered a level shifter, a circuit board and the support for the level shifter. I hope I can wire this up easily. My problem when wiring will be for the GND because the LED strips are 24V and the ESP32 is 5V… if you ever have a diagram lying aro…

Which levelshifter did you order?

Here’s a simple schematic for general use of a '245 as a levelshifter: [LS_245] Wiring should be pretty simple on a perfboard. Place the 100nF ceramic capacitor close to pin #20 (5V) and connect the other end to ground. Note the recommendation for a separate gnd line included with the data line…

Great thank you for all this information, I just ordered the capacitors. For the connection, if I understood correctly: I connect the 5V to pin 1 and 20 and to the capacitor. the capacitor to GND. From A0 to A7 I connect each data cable that comes from the ESP32. I have a doubt, each GPIO input…

I connect the 5V to pin 1 and 20 and to the capacitor. the capacitor to GND. Exactly From A0 to A7 I connect each data cable that comes from the ESP32. I have a doubt, each GPIO input must be connected to the GND of the 5V power supply or the 24V power supply. I find it strange to connect the DIN …

Think you, your are the best :+1:
