ws128 Led strip - spliiting a data cable into diffrent i/o pins

Hello All

equipment

Arduino mega
LEDS ws128b
Wemos esp
blynkl app

can i split the signal cable into 3 diffrent I/O pins?

just one pin will be on , namly when one pin is set to HIGH the rest LOW
will use a blynk app to on/off I/O pins to in addition will apply a boolean
( i am new to programing) but the question is it feasible?

cheers

Why do you want to do this ?

Surely the whole point of such LEDs is that they are individually controllable, so you could control 3 different sections of the strip using just one pin

Sorry, neither the diagram or your question makes sense.

You do not connect I/O pins of the same Arduino together. There is no reason to do so and it is liable to cause damage.

Clearly an "XY problem.".

I tried to google ws128b, could not find it.

Do you want to drive the one strip, but with three different patterns?
Have you been able to get one strip to work and display what you want?
Thanks.. Tom... :slight_smile:
