Hi,
I’m totally new to the world of electronics and I’m trying to learn it using an WLED project.
My problem is the following, when I install WLED on a esp32 devboard, the site assures my that the installation is successful, but I’m unable to find the WLED-AP. I have tried different phones and computers, but it never shows.
I have tried to re-install WLED several times, (including once with esptool) but the problem persist
(Furthermore, the LED I have quickly connected to the board show a green light, instead of the orange one as I have read in the documentation)
If someone has a solution, it’s more than welcome.
You’ll have to give us a little more info, can you post a link to the ESP and LEDs you bought?
A few pics of your setup my help too.
If you get 30 LEDs all in green after hooking everything up, that’s actually a good sign.
The default install for WLED will try and light the first 30LEDs in orange, but if your strip uses a different order for RGB in the data setup, they end up looking green.
That leads me to believe, WLED is running but you can’t get to the config page because you haven’t found the WiFi link (yet).
How did you load WLED? If you got to the steps asking for SSID and WiFi password, your ESP may already be on your home router. Either check to router’s logs for the new device or load the WLED-native app on your phone. The app will search for a live WLED board on your home network and tell you its IP address so you can link in.
I have use the site to install, but never given any information a wifi or SSID. And I have checked with the app and the router, and haven’t been able to find something.
I have tried, and unfortunately it hasn’t been successful.
(Also, I’m using Edge to install the 0.14.1 release, and trying to find the AP using the windows netsh command, I don’t know if it’s relevant, but juste in case)
