ESP is not responding after adding wifimanager

[PeteKnight]

I’m not going to write your code for you.
If you search for zeRGBa and RGB LEDs then you’ll find lots to be getting on with.
You are okay using a single RGB LED directly, but you should use MOSFETs to if you plan to use RGB strips.
I like the IRLB8721 as it has a suitable gate thresh voltage.

If you use code that is written for the Arduino then beware that the Arduino’s PWM output is only capable of 255 levels, whereas the ESP devices can output 1023 levels. This means that if you do an analogWrite of 255 on an ESP then you’ll only be getting 1/4 brightness so adjust the code to use 1023 as the maximum.

This is the design I was using in the past:

PCB/Schematic Review

I have to say that you’re making life unnecessarily difficult for yourself by using an Arduino Pro Mini and ESP-01 together. It’s much easier to use a fully-fledged ESP8266 to do everything. This has a few advantages: Lower cost Lower component count Easier to support/debug Supports OTA Updates Supports 1024 levels of PWM output This is what my RGB controllers look like: [image] This is basically this circuit from Adafruit but using a Wemos D1 Mini instead of the Arduino Uno and with the …

Although I now use these:

Hacking a Wi-Fi LED Controller to work with Blynk

I came across these Wi-Fi LED Controllers, for RGB LED strips on eBay: [Controller] Mine was GBP £5.40 because I ordered it from a UK supplier, but if you’re happy to wait for them to arrive from China you can buy the same item cheaper on eBay, AliExpress, Banggood etc. They also make a slightly more expensive version that has an IR remote as well as Wi-Fi app control, but I wasn’t interested in that functionality so went for the cheaper version. If you flash the code below onto the IR v…
