Hello. I am new with this. I have setup WLED on my new ESP23 controller board. The WLed app is synced with the board and i have jumper wires going from the ESP23 to my LED strip but i cant get the strip to light up at all. I had it working once but only 5 leds were lit. I disconnected the power and reconnected and i havent gotten anything lit up since. The strip is 3.3ft with 55 LEDs. I am powering the ESP board with a usb cable 5v 3a power supply.
Did you set the right gpio in LED Preferences?
You should not be powering that many LEDs straight from the Esp. The circuitry on the boards can not handle high Amp loads. You need either an external power source for both the LEDs and to the 5v pin & Ground pin on the ESP or 2 power sources with common ground between both supplies, the ESP, and the LEDs.
