Esp8266 not sending data #73

Open richyxi opened 5 years ago

richyxi commented 5 years ago

The ESP8266 gets connected to the internet but it's no sending data to the led strip even when is connected to the RX pin, what could it be?

Andriejus commented 5 years ago

Maybe LED strip is damaged? If I were you I would upload simple sketch to esp8266 for controlling the ws2812 led strip and check if its working.

richyxi commented 5 years ago

Yeah I already did that, it works with other programs, how's your led strip connected? Your are using RX?

yes RX. If I remember correct it was pin number 7 in Arduino.ino sketch. #define DATA_PIN 7 I'm using MAC+esp8266 and you are using raspberry yes? I have no experience with raspberry..

Are u sharing a gnd connection between led and esp?
