HELP getting cync led strips to work f=with esp 8266 nodemcu v3

Hello There!

As the title says i am trying to get my esp 8266 nodemcu v3 to work with my cync extension led strip.

Heres the backstory; a few years back i accidentaly bought led extensions froma closing store and cant return (i know im dumb for that i should have read it more clearly (was in a rush)) so now im stuck with them.

So baiscally im pretty sure i didnt connect it all right and i cant control the led strips, so if your able to help with the settings and connections greatly appreciated!

I installed wled using the website, and heres the pinout:

There are 5 pins on the LED strip: 12v in, and green, red, blue, and white which are all negative.

12v Positive/negative connected to mosfets positive/negative (they are in the right spots)
Then the 12v positive out is connected to the led strip 12 in.
Afterwards each individule colour is connected tp the negative out on the mosfets
(there are 4 total mosfets)
Then the grounds on each mosfets are connected to the grounds of the esp board
afterwards there are pwm/trig pins to connect to the board which i dont know which ones

Thanks for all the help i get!

These sound like 4 channel (R,G,B,W) Analog (non-addressable) strips.
Checkout the details in the KB: Non-addressable LEDs

Your MOSFETs need to be 3v logic level rated to work directly connected to the ESP.
What type of MOSFETs do you have?
Check the wiring to make sure it matches the diagram.

A simple test is to take the gate of each MOSFET to 3.3V and see which channel of the strip lights up (if any). That’s effectively what the ESP will do, so if you can’t manually make the channel light through the MOSFET, the ESP won’t either.

After that, it’s a matter of picking the right LED protocol in WLED and choosing the GPIO pins you’ve connected to your LEDs.

thanks i will check out the non addressable leds link, but here are my mosfets: DAOKI 10pcs 15A 400W MOS FET Trigger Switch Drive Module PWM Regulator Control Panel : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific

I checked out the link you gave abiut the non addressable led strips but it maade no sense to me
