For the mic im using a blue yeti and its capturing the sound correctly

Annotation 2020-01-23 092014

so im pretty sure my issue is with the 8266 and/or the wiring (i know very little about hardware). i am using a ESP8266 NodeMCU CP2102 ESP-12E link

here is my current wiring:

20200123_081455

i connected the rx pin to the data wire of the led. though im not sure this is the correct way of doing it. i also noticed the guide mentions "ESP8266 and LED strip share a common electrical ground connection" so i connected a cable to the gnd pin of the ESP8266 though i dont know where the other end connects to.

i then verify and upload the ws2812_controller_esp8266.ino file changing the values in the guide:

Set const char ssid to your router's SSID Set const char password to your router's password Set IPAddress gateway to match your router's gateway Set IPAddress ip to the IP address that you would like your ESP8266 to use (your choice) Set #define NUM_LEDS to the number of LEDs in your LED strip

i installed arduino ide and used the following settings NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) 4M (3M SPIFFS) 160 Mhz 921600

im not sure if these are the correct settings i followed the guide as close as possible.

i then checked my router to see if a connection was established

when i plug everything in and run the visualizer the stip powers on and it changes color but i haveto press and hold the rst button on the 8266. any help or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
