Hi Guys, i have problem with my D1 Mini (ESP-12F). I try to connect WS2812B 24 Bits Module Strip to D1 Mini. Linked to 5V, GND and D7 pins. I use FastLed and Adafruit library ,but result is the same, only 5 led works, everyone else does not want to light up. I try with NodeMCU esp8266 ch340 and only 5 works again. Do you know what is the problem with that damn thing
WS2812B 24 Bits Module Strip
Description:
Round and round and round they go! 24 ultra bright smart LED for NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with 2.6" (66mm) outer diameter and 2.1" (54mm) internal diameter. The rings are 'chainable' - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED.
Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making the design slim. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock.
There is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microconroller such as an AVR, for Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc.
It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the netduino or Basic Stamp. Our onderfully-written Neopixel library for Arduino supports these pixels!
As it requires hand-tuned assembly it is only for AVR cores but others may have ported this chip driver code so please google around. An 8MHz or faster processor is required. Comes as a single ring with 24 individually addressable RGB LEDs assembled and tested.
