Trying to set up QTPy Pico ESP32 with BFF LED NeoPixil Driver. Followed manufacture instruction for set up. Set up on and recognized by home network. Pin set to AO3 as per manufacture. The default lights are not coming on and the strip is not responding to the app. The first seven lights are coming on, the fist and last being yellow the rest being white. The LED strip is fine because is working when connected to HUZZAH 32 feather flashed with WLED. What am I missing here?
It sounds like you’ve made good progress but are facing some issues with your QTPy Pico ESP32 setup. Here are a few things to check:
-
Wiring: Ensure that the data pin (AO3) is correctly connected to the data input of the LED strip. Double-check all ground connections as well.
-
Power Supply: Verify that the LED strip is receiving sufficient power. Sometimes, the onboard power might not be enough for longer strips.
-
Library and Code: Ensure you are using the correct library and that your code is properly set up for the NeoPixel driver. Check that the pin is defined correctly in your code.
-
Configuration: If you’re using a specific configuration or settings in your code, ensure they match the parameters of your LED strip (e.g., number of LEDs, pixel type).
-
Network Configuration: Since the strip works with the HUZZAH 32, make sure that your QTPy Pico is configured identically regarding Wi-Fi settings and network access.
-
Testing: Simplify your code to just initialize the strip and light up a specific color. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the library or the hardware. https://www.pneda.com/
