Hello everyone, Yesterday I wired my new LED strip with a NodeMCU V3 ESP8266 on which I have previously flashed WLED. My problem now is that I can not control the LEDS. The WLED webinterface I can reach without problems but the LEDS give nothing in feedback. My assumption was that the strip is broken. I have then tried a NodeMCU v2 and with this it works fine. A defect of the NodeMCU v3 I exclude because I have already tried 3 pieces. The wiring was in all cases VIN, G and D4. What else can I try or has something changed in version 3 of ESP which could be related to my problem ? ---

If your strip works with a different MCU, it’s likely you are assigning the the wrong GPIO for the V3 board. Try a different pin and GPIO assignment, you’ll have to research what the V3 board assignments are. ---

‘d4’ is likely gpio 2. Check your config in LED Preferences and see if you have it set to gpio 2
