Hey, I am trying to adress a led strip (105 in one way and 105 back) via an esp32.
Unfortunately the watchdog timer triggers because the cpu is overwhelmed with that many leds (works with 40 and 40 back) and therefore the Espresso is stuck in an reset loop (at least that's what I am thinking is the problem):
That's a fairly large program. Did you build it up piece by piece, only adding / debugging a single new element at a time? If so, the problem would have been fairly easy to identify as associated with the last element added.
Double check that your power supply has enough capacity to handle the increased LED count. If the supply voltage to the ESP32 is sagging, all kinds of odd things can happen.
One way to check that might be to switch back to the shorter LED strip but leave the pixel count in the code unchanged.
It could also be that code is running too long with interrupts disabled on Core 1.
