Hi, im using an esp32 for hyperion. Connected to it, i have a led strip ws2812 that has 5 cables (grouped in a 3pin connector and another ground and volt cable for external supply).
Initially i was using only the 3 wire connected with jumpers to the esp32, but considering that a single esp32 can't handle properly (at least i think it) 274 led, i removed the 3v3 and grnd cable from esp32, and i linked the two auxiliary ground and power to an usb cable.
So now, i have an esp32 with only data cable from the led strip on it, and then on the led, i have the data cable that go on the esp32, grnd and 5v (from the main 3) without any link, and the 2 auxiliary connected to an usb. But it doesn't work. the led doesn't turn on. Surely im doing something wrong. Can you help me?
