Flickering Lights

  • Thank you for the tips. I have connected two cables at end of the strip to GND and +5V. Also connected additional GND pin from Pi Zero W to share GND.


    Maybe it is a bit better but still not perfect. Made a video and two pictures how it looks. There is still flickering at end and when I enable solid white it gets more and more "yellow" color until it reaches end of strip. Still power issue? Could it be and issue with L corner elements?

    Limit the issues step by step. Supply the LED stripe from both sides. Yellow color @ white could be a sign of voltage drop.

    If you own a multimeter, measure the voltage +5V and GND at different points of the LED stripe. At all copper points should

    be a stable voltage of 5 Volts. If you have any problems with flickering, use a level shifter.

  • My LED strip has started to flicker after a re-installation. I found the issue by running a colour sequence and gently pressing the LED's where the flashing was most prominent,


    I found one LED that wasn't making good contact until it was pressed, just need to snip that one out and replace by soldering in a new section.
