Im trying to use 3 strips (GPIO1,2 & 3 respectively) on ESP32.
strip 1 SK281x 68 LEDs GPIO 1
strip 2 SK2814 (setup sk6812/2814) 38 leds GPIO 2
strip 3 Sk281x 69 leds GPIO 3
strip 1 & 3 work just fine together
strip 2 works just fine (provided other 2 not defined)
… but as soon as i try to enable strip 1 & 2 (or 2 & 3) or all 3,
the strip 2 leds are “unstabled” … flicker between random colors.
i have purchased a replacement strip 2, same issue.
strip 2 works just fine “on its own”
i dont believe its a power supply issue , as 1 & 3 together woild draw more than 1 & 2
Have i run up against some constraint with WLED that it doesnt like these typenof stips mixed together? (they are in different GPIos of course)
to clarify … when i say “enabled” … i mean defined under “led preferences”
strip 2 works just fine when its the only strip setup.
when strip 2 flickers/random colors… strip 1 &or strip 3 are stable - as expected.
its only strip 2 thats starts to do random stuff, when its enabled with strip 1 & 3 also
I’ve never heard about SK2814 or SK2811.
Are your LEDs RGB or RGBW? Are you trying to mix the two?
strip 1 & 3 are 281X type
strip 2 is “SK2814” per mfr. (configured in wled accordingly)
im mixing them on a single ESP32, but obviously on different GPIOs.
strip 1 & 3 are rgb style
strip 2 is rgbww
get a debug build of recent firmware (0.15) and post boot sequence serial dump
thanks for response,
pls excuse by poor understanding.
i had a look at the github page for “beta” (eg 0.15xx binaries…)
do these binaries have the debug function enabled?
no, but @srg74 or @wladi_wled provide them on their GH/installer
occasionally they are available on Discord
