Hi,
I want to connect an APA102 led strip to an ESP32 devkit v1.
I’m using the following config for the led strip:
light:
- platform: fastled_spi
chipset: APA102
data_pin: GPIO25
clock_pin: GPIO26
num_leds: 50
rgb_order: BRG
name: "Bed light"
light.bed_light shows up in HA and I can turn the entity on/off. However the led strip doesn’t show any activity.
Here’s the log output when switching the entity:
[19:32:46][D][light:035]: 'Bed light' Setting:
[19:32:46][D][light:046]: State: ON
[19:32:46][D][light:084]: Transition length: 1.0s
[19:32:48][D][light:035]: 'Bed light' Setting:
[19:32:48][D][light:046]: State: OFF
[19:32:48][D][light:084]: Transition length: 1.0s
nothing weird happening there, right?
I used an esp8266 (wemos d1 mini) before and that worked so the wiring of the led strip should be okay.
my setup:
5V 6A power supply, connected to 5V and GND on led strip
power supply connected to VIN and GND on ESP32
DI - D25
CI - D26
I know the ESP32 is working because I also have 4 bed occupancy sensors connected to it and they provide accurate data to HA. I can’t use the esp8266 because that apparently doens’t work with the bed sensors that I’m using (the capacitive ones with the paper/foil)
What am I missing here?
