Hello, I would like to connect two LED strips to an ESP32C3. RGBW (SK6812) and a white LED strip (PMW White). The white LED strip is controlled via a FET. Unfortunately, this isn’t working as I intended. When I move the third slider, the white LED on the SK6812 and the white LED strip are controlled. I would like to control the white LED strip separately. Is that possible? I’ve also tried using the usermod function (PWM). Unfortunately, I can’t get a fourth slider on the interface to control the white strip. ---

tried it, but it didn’t work. Perhaps I configured the segment incorrectly. And how should I assign the segment to the usermod PWM GPIO? If I connect the FET to the PWM GPIO pin, the white LED strip remains off. ---

Use autosegment option in LED settings and segment will be created for each output. ---

You mean “Make a segment for each output”. I enabled it, but it doesn’t work. According to ChatGPT, WLED doesn’t support it yet. ---

if you trust chatGPT over the developers, you probably should not be using chatGPT as you seem to lack the understanding of what it can and cannot do. did you try on the latest version? ---

Yes, 0.15.0 ---

to control the white led strip segment, use the segment slider not global slider. ---

Yes, of course. But the white LED in the SK6812 and the white LED strip are always controlled. No matter which slider I move ---

SK6812 is not a PWM LED chip. Well, it does drive LED using PWM output, but it is controlled digitally. My advice: Stop using ChatGPT and start experimenting and reading official documentation (as good or poor as it is). White works as intended. When correct settings are applied.
