Hi, on my PC monitor i put 142 LED´s. With WLED they work fine, all the time. I changed over to HyperSerialESP32 because it´s a lot smoother. My problem acutal is, the strip works fine for an undefined time most, max a few minutes. Then the strip freezes and only uses first 6 LED´s. I need so switch off strip and ESP to get it to work again. HyperHDR V20 WinX64 Any advice? Thanks in advance, |

Thank you for the fast respond. Only the first 6 leds turn off. They work as expected. |

I would usually say that you need to add a level shifter, although the symptom is unusual. Usually the first LED amplifies the signal unless it is too noisy. It is possible, however, that you will have to start with this or LED no. 6/7 are damaged. Do you have a common ground between the esp32 and the LED strip? |

I have a level shifter included. It’s the same board. I only swap the esp with one that has wled on it. All grounds are joined together. |

I doubt it's esp32's fault, because it doesn't hang, i.e. there's a reaction from the first 6 LEDs. If it did hang, there would be no reaction, and the AWA protocol ensures that it received the entire data packet, not just for the first 6 LEDs. You can flash WLED to esp32, it also supports the classic Adalight, although without AWA. And the LED rendering method is different. |

Thanks. I will test the different options and let you know what I can find out. |

It kept bugging me, so I tried some things instead of sleeping. Different ESP, no difference. Flashed HyperWLED, works like charm with 921600 Baud. I can live with that. Thanks for your help. PS: I left AWA on, it works. Should it be unchecked? |
