Hey, I’m totally new to this and it has been a struggle trying to figure this out. My setup is simple and based on Chris Maher’s 2024 setup video.
Issue: A seemingly random flash/flicker happens when using any effect. It happens at irregular intervals, sometimes after 90 seconds, sometimes after only 20 seconds.
No flashing observed on solid colors(tested 100% RGB White, 100% White LED, 100% RGB White + White, and a bunch of other colors)
Hardware:
Board: ESP32-S3 N16R8
LED strip: SK6812 5v 60LED/m
PSU: BTF 5v 10A
Settings:
Enable automatic brightness limiter: ON
Maximum PSU Current: 4000mA
Total LEDs: 163
Skip first LEDs: 18
Actually used LEDs: 145

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
