Hey Chris, I get the same result with a sacrificial led though many experts do not recommend it. Why is using a shifter better? Safer, more stable or just more elegant? Please elaborate, I don't wanna burn my house down. Thanks

Have yourself a great weekend Chris.

Thank you Chris.

Awesome like a Possum!! I bought a crap ton of those Logic Level Shifters over a year ago and never understood what they do or how to wire them. Now I do! Thank you Jesus Man!!! ⛪

cool video - what the max length and size of wire to run from logic shifter to WS's led strip?

I can smell the comments saying that this is not the correct level shifter

I2C vs TTL. It’s a raging debate!

@RobinGerritsen1995

Ай бұрын

Indeed. I have tried the bidirectional logic level converters and these give may too much noise or can't handle the data speeds. Once I switched it for any TTL chip it was gone but I still needed to add a filter capacitor to the TTL to make the signal stable.

Because it is ;) A simple TTL buffer/and/or gate (maybe with hysteresis) would do way better and easier as no 3V3 needs to be connected

What extra distance do you think this will extend the data?

I really recommend you choose a different wire that is UL listed. Long LED strips can draw a lot of current and are at risk for fire if not using quality conductors. Especially if you are planning to hide these wires behind walls.

The other thing I bought some of the tape lights you recommended to use with the W led app box and none of it had any glue on the back . Who does that? I ordered 3 different sets and none of them had anything on the back. Id that like a special option i forgot to check on the order

Hey, Chris Got a request Would you mind making a video about the govee app. I've got a sports bar I installed 20 plus light strips on two music boxes and none at govee can help.They are brain dead at customer support the app is very confusing and I like to put it on a timer Plz Help!?@!

How can I get ws2812b led strip in India at best price

Had the same issue last night on my SK6812 strip and after putting a 270 ohm resistor, the flickering was gone. Didn't need a resistor on my WS2813 strip tho.

Did you just put it on the data line after the wled? Perhaps a picture? I cannot use a levelshifter on my setup and another solution.

@Marcuss925

@@surfdk Yes, just put a resistor on the data line between the controller and the led strip.

So I have a microphone that currently uses the 3.3v on my ESP32. Can I power the microphone off the 3.3v side of the level shifter? Anyone advise on this please?Newbie 😊

Anyone?

love your tutorials, what do you think about the LLS method vs sacrificial 1st LED?

@jasonleaf55

Ай бұрын

I used the sacrificial pixel last year for a Burning Man project. I had the data line split 4 times and the run on each LED line was 35'+ and it worked perfectly. My online research returned you could run 100' without issue but I did not test that so can not verify. But like I said it worked splitting the data line 4 times to runs over 35 feet. Plus WLED has in the settings, a box to click, to turn off First Pixel for this reason. Hope this helps!

What if you were using a 12V or 24V power supply?

I am having many problems powering the esp32 with a regulator from the 24v psu. Lots of flickering with a 3 cm data wire

@markc.5750

You might need a buck converter then. Or a separate 5V power supply.

what a waste of wagos,, that first inline wago killed me

@andreaslusti4018

Ай бұрын

I also use wagos like they came in a big box. Which they did. They look so sad just lying in there. They seem to be much happier when connected! 😊 Joking aside, I frequently rebuild my lighting stuff. Wagos make it easier.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt since this is for demonstration purposes and not a final installation.
