Speedybee F7 V3 - all LED's do the same thing
#1
Hi all, I guess this is my first question in this forum!  I'm using a Speedybee F7 V3 stack and the FC has 4 separate LED connectors.  I'm using Speedybee programmable 2812 led strips. The LED's all work and I can change the colors in Betaflight but all 4 LED's strips do the same thing.  Is there a way to control each of the 4 strips individually with this FC?

It's a known "feature" of the current Speedybee FC (or bug if you want), they all do the same thing and you can't control them separately unfortunately.

It's by design and is the same on any FC that has a set of LED pads or connectors in each corner of the FC (some of the Diatone Mamba FCs are the same).

If you want individual control of each LED across all the strips you need to chain them together. Connect the first strip to just one of the sockets on the FC (or to the 5V, G & LED pad next to the SDA and SCL pads on the other side of the FC), then connect the second strip to the first strip, the third strip to the second strip, and the fourth strip to the third strip. It does mean long runs of wiring going up and down the arms but that is the only way to have separate control over each separate LED as opposed to the LED 4 sticks just mirroring each other.

Okay good to know....I may give it a go just to see if individual control is worth the extra cabling and cable routing.
