Great video. I needed this simple approach to help me get started. Everything makes sense now and I'm looking forward to my first project which will be an LED corner lamp. Thanks for the great content sir.

Fantastic video, very easy to follow along with.

You are the master my man Chris Thanks for including the 24V COB Got all my supplies and I’m ready to give this a try!

Great Video! Could you also show how to use a single power supply for the esp and the led strip?

Great vid. Im thinking about incorporating wavy glass into my build to get an interesting effect on the wall but I'm lazy

Thank you Chris.

Wow I think this is exactly the video I needed. I have been racking my brain trying to install a level shifter to stop flickering but I have not tried a resistor yet. I will give that a go and see if I can stop my flickering issue.

Hey Chris, would you mind doing the 15 m setup wit 24v RGB COB ? Thanks ! Love watching your videos. Soon going to do my 1st project. Keep up the good work!

@chris thanks for these videos. Could you please do a video with M5StickC and led strip. Thank you

Hi Chris, I hope you are all well, Thank you again for a great tutorial, the resistor I think was 470 ohm, From your own experience is it always the same ohm resistor or does it differ? Many thanks 🙏

Excellent

Yes!

This is very interesting!! Is it really necessary to jump the ground from the controller to the 12v PS ground?

Hey Chris! First of all I love your videos! you always offer great explenation on very small details. but i have a question regarding multiple led strips. do i need to use multiple controllers for multiple strips or can i use one controller and send the data to the multiple strips with a wago clamp for example? So I would use one controller and send the data from it to the floor lamps, the ceiling Leds and the Leds around the TV? Greetings from Austria!

Hey Chris, your videos are fantastic. My problem is that my bench setup like yours works, but the ESP32 controllers keep burning up. I see other post with the same problem but no good solution. I am using the USB-c ESP and 12v or 24v and my guess is the ground or data is back feeding and killing the ESP32. I am using a USB-c power source for the esp but a 12v power supply for the the LEDs, the 12v + only goes to the LEDs so it’s the data or the ground killing the boards.

excellent content brother - quick question can the ESP32 drive the 15m replicating the same sample you demonstrate with the Domestic Automation ? ( 12v and 24v ) - also for 15-20 Meters run do you recommend 24v to avoid power injection?

Chris is it possible to have some kind of remote for esp32? My kids still don't have phones but they would like to turn on lights without asking me.

How do you know which [size?] resistor is appropriate?

Could you make a video about extending the Govee H6173 light strip I want to put them around my house I have 4 boxes of 2 rolls each I want to join them together so as not to put them separately, thank you

How are you encasing the board for installation?

I wrote under another video before I saw this video so my question is I have a led strip 4pin 5v can I use this method but with a 5v adapter?

Why did you connect the gnd from controller to gnd to the 12v power supply?

How many LED lights is too much to power by a doorbell transformer?

Please do the WS2811 12V next.

So which is the best to use the ESP or the Ws2815 ????

5:54 insted of using the phone charger i can use the ESP32 development module (or expansion module for ESP32) that i can buy on Ali for avoid two power lines? it supports up to 16 v and it has a jumper of 5v, im i right?

could you pls share the schematic diagram of this board?

Are there advantages for choosing 24v over 12v?

Did you connect the 5V ground (from the controller) to the 12V ground? 1:51

How do I use the controller without wifi? I am setting up in a booth at an expo without wifi.

Is there more information on determining which resistor to use?

Hi Chris If in in the app scrol at the efects then all my efecta go out of view and then he didn't react well anymore do you know what the problem could be thanks in advance

I'd like to see how you're hiding the wires once everything is connected

Thank you for video. I am a builder looking to do this on gables hidden in f channel for a version of permanent christmas/ambient light. any idea on runs with the 18g wire being 40’. will have 4 runs longest strip light needing to be 71’

Wonder if there is a way to power the LED strip and controller board using PoE.

Hey Chris, just picked up my acrylic sheets for my upcoming speaker stands. in your DIY video, to what dimension was the acrylic sheet cut to? 30x30cm for example Would appreciate if you could back to me, so I can complete the build :)

What OHM rating was that resistor at 7:10?

Everything i keep reading online keeps talking about putting an inline fuse between the strip and the power supply, but no videos i watch online have that. Everyone online seems to be adamant about using an inline fuse. What are your thoughts here and why don’t you use them? Also I’m in the UK and we have fuses in our plugs, but I’m guessing that just protects the house wires between.

So, let's say hypothetically....forgive me it's my first diy project, that you have a strip of 24v cob LED's that you have already cut off the jst connector, is the strip ruined?

These are no good especially for $50 they loose the WLED program and there is no way to reflash it,stay with the $5 esp 8266 you will Thank me not Chris !!!
