Sanity check on LED circuit - WS2811, ESP32
Howdy people,
I'm trying to drive WS2811 LEDs with a Meanwell PWM-200-12 driver. I'll use WLED or FastLED probably.
I'm concerned that I'm using the red and white "power injection" leads incorrectly and I should be powering it all from the red, green and white cluster
I don't need the PWM dimming capability with of the driver as the WS2811 dimming is all digital anyway.
Also, how neccesary is the tie from ESP GND to OUT- on the Meanwell driver?
Thanks a bunch
