Getting Started with WLED in 2021

Can I use ESP32-Wroom board instead of Node mcu?

Can you run 12v WS2811 Led strip with the Node MCU Kit or does it have to be 5v Led strips

Thank you so much, I wanted to use wled for so long but I never got it to work on a wemos d1 mini. But then I saw you use the 1mb .bin file. I tried it as well and now everything works. Thanks!

Hi! I love the info in your video! BUT‼️ 18Ampere current is Waay Too Much for those thin wires! Please educate yourself about this! Potential Fire Hazard!

Your next video appears private

Noooo where did the resent video goo I wanted to watch it!!!

Addition idk about 8266 but esp32 i learned have issues with 5ghz wifi use 2.5. None of my 3 esp32s would connect to my 5ghz wifi all 3 had 0 issues with 2.5 though. Took me about 2 hours to figure out that was the issue with why wled couldnt locate them.

This video would have been so good if you had NOT had the stupid music if you can call it music such a shame

Where are the other videos you mentioned?

Where did he buy the LED strips and what are they called

Great video! What camera do you use if you don't mind my asking?

Hii, I am receiving this as an error-
"Unexpected error: could not open port 'COM12': FileNotFoundError(2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.', None, 2)"
pls can you help me out here

Where is the next video?

there is a problem, when i unplug the power, the mcu doesn't save the settings, how to solve this

hi, wled is for ws2811???

Not working on windows 10. It flashed to the D1 Mini but I cannot find it on a network through my computer

Lucking forward to the video on using a physical switch

i don't undestand why my 144 strip led all the led are on, and i have setup 144 leds

Where is the light switch video mentioned at the end of this video???

Does anyone know why when I try to connect my falcon controller to wled it just says error? Thanks

Please do the more advanced video

If I use a D1 mini... do I need a level shifter?

great vid man, had a spare mcu laying about, 5 mins later i have wled. now to buy led. you gained a sub

Any luck getting this to work on the M1 MacBooks yet?

Thanks for your video. I have my lights all set up on the Halloween mode. But I have some questions. They turn on by themselves. They go to default mode after a while and I can't get the time controlled presets. I think if I can figure these things out, I would be set. Is there a way you can help me? How can I contact you?

Where are the other video's mentioned the more advanced ones?

In segmentation, say I have my strip on the back of my table and it extends to the shelves on the wall by its side, Can I set up the leds on the table to be a different color to those on the shelves?

hopefully someone commented about lack of fuze to save your controller and strips.. and your house.

I've done same thing with led what cost 2 pound from ali......

Informative video! Did you take down the video connecting WLED to a light switch?

annoying music

One point, you completely missed to mention that you might need drivers for the UART chip

What LED strips can I use, I’m a college student so I’m a lil broke and was hoping to get a strip that would be about $20 for 16 foot 300 LED strip, where could I find these?

Can you put the link for those aluminum brackets for the leds?

Mandatory information missing in this video: unplug your power cable before screwing the leads. This is not obvious to everybody.

Is there a way to connect Wled to a google home ?

Thank you for the video - helped me connect ESP8622 to my laptop, Just a question if you don't mind: id like to use the ESP8622 to connect to an LED strip in my bathroom to use as ambient lighting, Do you know if its possible to add a normal light switch to any of the pins, my goal would be to turn the LEDs off, but when i turn the light switch back on the same set up is still running - meaning they go back to how they were running (in the WLED APP) prior to turning them off - Thanks in Advance

I am running a ws2815 5M strip on a MEAN WELL LRS-350-12v psu. Do you recommend front and end loading injection and if so, would 12v injection be overkill or should I use a step down converter to 5v at end? ty for your time.

If the controller IS getting too hot what is the solution? I have had several boards fail and I can't figure out why but suspect it is heat. I have a 5v 2 amp phone charger and have a limiter set to between 850 to 1500 but it seems my ESP8266 are getting super hot.

Maybe I need to get a real power supply and not the phone chargers.

Any suggestions?

It seems when I set the limiter too high is when the board ends up dying...but I have never set it higher than about 85% of the chargers power (I set it to about 1850mA once and it died 30 mins later).
Very frustrated as I have been working on this for nearly a month and have gone through 5 ESP boards. (2 of them were DOA, 1 died quickly after, 2 worked awhile then died)

Thanks, but can you ditch the music, or turn it WAY down?

D1 mini ws2811 12v e possibile?

Dude, this is a nice video and you speak well, but the music makes it unwatchable after about a minute.

Yeah, I’d go deeper with the explanation on the safety part. 300w can easily start a fire if no proper wire is used , no fuses , also, if your controller is further away from the strips (as in starting from 6-7ft away) you need a level shifter in there so that the data signal be clean Al the way. nice video but people can have real problems if they don’t follow some safety rules

Dear, thank you for nice helpful Video, I have two led strips connected to Di mini, how can I connect them together regarding 5V, ground and data, every thing is fine connected to Home Assistant only for one Led , your support please

Thanks for the video! Very helpful! What camera + Lens + mic combo did you use to film this? Great quality!

AT LAST! Finally, a fairly simple project video with a parts list to get started with this lighting!! I've been waiting for a few years now. What's even cooler is that it appears that everything is currently in stock at Amazon!! Wooo hooo! I hope these are affiliate links for you, 'cause you deserve a commission! Can't wait to get started!! ~Frank

Could not locate the more advanced video.

Thank you.
