Unexpected behavior with leds #439

GuyFerreira commented 3 years ago

I wonder if anyone could help me with a boring problem that is happening. I am not able to use primastik correctly. I used it for 1 day and it worked perfectly but the next day it started to get weird. he could no longer capture the screen or even remain in solid color. the leds are crazy. I checked all the LED connections and they are in perfect condition. when I test with a blink for addressable led they all work perfectly. I'm using windows 10 and arduino nano baud 115200 (I tested other Arduinos that I have and it didn't work either.) I tried the recommended capacitors to stabilize the voltage and resistors in the range of 200 to 500 ohms and nothing happens. follow the video with what’s happening when I try to reconfigure.

I had this issue and it ended up being the LEDs. Try attaching your data pin to a few leds down the line and see if it works. For some reason I had to cut out an LED to get mine working, later the whole strip failed. bought BTF brand and no problems since.
