How Did I Kill My WLED So Fast?
Didn’t realize how bad I am at upgrading some ancient LED strips to get some music reactive style.
Ordered the Athom.tech Music Addressable LED controller, the 24v WLED’s recommended by Quinled and the 54v 3A power unit also recommended by Quinled. Wired it up to the best of my partially colorblind capabilities and burned out the LED strip before I could get the music on.
I clearly broke something, but the manuals aren’t useful at my knowledge level and Google isn’t specific enough to the wiring. Tried to match the colors to the connections WLED strip but that may not be the right approach. Did I just wire it wrong and not know why? Or is the power unit not the right one? Or is there something with the 5V-24V Input?
