OK, that is indeed solid epoxy on the LEDs. No way to resolder the chips. All I can do is cut out one LED and replace it when it occurs. I have plenty of spares and a box of Wago connectors. Intermittent failures are the worst as it freezes the previous pattern following the data break. Ho hum :roll:

And Wago repair done. Looking good again :idea: :D :idea:

Well that went well. On New Years Eve I plugged another ESP32 and LED string into a 5V battery pack, and put a string of lights inside my car. UDP sync to the Master, and OMG.

Better start planning for the Xmas 2024 lights. Hmmm... What do I need ?

MORE LEDS !!!!!!

Safety note: The car was on my drive, and I live in a cul-de-sac, so no danger to passing motorists :mrgreen:

If anybody knows a supplier of addressable LEDs with a 5cm spacing, please let me know. If they are already made up in 5cm x 5cm spaced matrices that can be cut to size, even better.
