Wemos ESP8266 with LED Stipes, wrong colours?

Solved

Hi,
Im trying to use the Blynk App with Wemos ESP8266 to control some LED Stripes. I get some “light” but the wrong colours.

The Arduino Code:

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

#define PIN D2
#define NUMPIXELS 144
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

BlynkTimer timer; 
Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);



void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
    Blynk.begin("xxxxx", "yyyyy", "zzzzz");
  pixels.begin();
  pixels.setBrightness(55);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
}



BLYNK_WRITE(V2)
{

  int R = param[0].asInt();
  int G = param[1].asInt();
  int B = param[2].asInt();
  Serial.println(R);
  Serial.println(G);
  Serial.println(B);
  for (int i = 0; i < NUMPIXELS; i++) {

    pixels.setPixelColor(i, pixels.Color(R, G, B));

    pixels.show();
  }
}

In Blynk Im using zuRGBa Merge to V2 and 0 to 1023 for each colour.

When I connect and set a new colour, I get wrong colours. Or I understand it wrong?

In example I change the colours in Blynk and on the left corner I have

V2 821 0 0

In Arduino Serial monitor, I have the same colours. But the Leds are rainbow. first LED light middle red, second light green/yellow, third light blue with purple. Repeating this colours.

As I understand it, all LEDs should be in red. What am I doing wrong?

I thought that the NeoPixel library used 255 color increments for each LED.

I adjusted it to 255, but still rainbows, only with the difference that the colors are stronger now.

Have you tried running some of the example sketches that come with the library to verify the correct operation of your hardware and software configuration choices?

I found my issue…

I changed to Adafruit_NeoPixel strip(LED_COUNT, LED_PIN, **NEO_GRBW** + NEO_KHZ800);

And I checked my order, in my order says GRB without white. Now its fine and working.
Thank you
