KC868-A ESP32 RGBW LED Stripe

[janosch1337]

Hey,

i'm searching for a solution to control warm white/cold white 24V stripes from KC868-A... (esp32). can you recommend something?


in the past i use H801 to control 24V stripes. But i want to control it over your kc868 board to have a direct connection from switch to lamp

suggest use WS2812B LED strip, easy to control by ESP32. here is video tour: https://youtu.be/xptAHlOLV-w

[janosch1337]

yes.

here you can see a example how it is done with h801

i see. H801 use for RGB LED strip. i think you can use A4,A8,A16 any one for RGB LED strip, just the LED strip chip is WS28xx series. here is ESPHome support:

hi

light:

  - platform: neopixelbus
    type: RGBW
    pin: GPIO13
    num_leds: 44
    variant: SK6812
    name: "$device_verbose_name lightstrip"


i have a8 board. its not working properly.

on a normal esp32 i use gpio0 + ground and everything is ok. but on a8 the same setup is not working. maybe you can help me what i am doing wrong...

i use the right connector. s1 (gpio13?!) and gnd. gnd is connected to the gnd of my 24V power supply (like you did it in the video with a 5v power supply)

what's your RGBW led's gpio voltage level? 5V ? 3.3V ?
