I am experiencing a similar issue to what is described in this 9rland9’s post.
When connecting the PB to the SK9822’s the LEDs remain completely off. However, I disconnect the PB (via the X connector) and just have the 5v DC power going to the LED strip; the strip has white LEDs illuminating in a snake-like building pattern.
I have confirmed that my color order, led type, and pixel count matches my LEDs. I’m curious what else could be the issue?
I have tried a few different PB ↔ LED connectors without any luck.
As stated in more words in the email… That did the trick
Thanks!
By the way, what a joy it has been to use your platform. Light years ahead of native ESP32 environments. For years, I resisted jumping on the PB bandwagon because I thought it would take the fun out of things. sweat_smile: I’m glad I knocked that notion.

I have no experience with other ESP32 things like WLED. Many years ago someone showed me a page with a screenshot of the pattern selection page and I initially blew it off as a consumer-level non-hacker thing … a couple of years later I was fed up with making slow progress via Arduino programming and actually looked into Pixelblaze and … gosh, I still feel a bit silly about those wasted years.
It’s so awesome to be able to put together a pattern in an evening or two, and tweak it live. It provides so much inspiration for actually building a physical thing that it makes every part of the project easier!
