Desperate for help - Cannot communicate with LEDs through ESP8266

[iCanHazSkillz]

I'd like to preface that this is most likely not an issue with hyperSerialEsp8266, but I don't know where to turn to at this point.

I've successfully managed to flashed my ESP8266 ESP-12F D1 Mini Module (CH340) (purchased here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09X389JFJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) with firmware_SK6812_RGBW_NEUTRAL.bin

My SK6812 LED strip lights up fine and according to the logs in hyperHDR, it appears it's able to interface with the ESP8266 through adalight COM3. The ESP8266 is connected through USB on the WIN PC running HyperHDR.

However, any attempt to change colors in hyperHDR does absolutely nothing.

Here are my configuration and logs:

Hi
This is not full configuration but I suspect you are just missing a video source or you are doing something wrong when setting the colour: there is a boot effect and it generates some frames so the connection is working for a while but then it stops as effect quits. Proceed according to the benchmark procedure described in the last post on the blog and test using colour with continue output enabled in the smoothing.

The setup I've shared above had the ESP8266 hooked up to my PC. I've managed to get the setup working using WLED in HyperHDR and using the ESP8266 over WiFi. While everything is working fine, there is a noticeable delay which I'd really like to get rid of.

I tried using hyperserialesp8266 on my LG TV running PicCap and HyperHDR. The performance section from the overview page seems to show that the LED strip is communicating with HyperHDR; however I'm unable to get the light to respond to any command sent through HyperHDR and the logs keeps repeating that it could not detect HyperSerialEsp8266/HyperSerialESP32/HyperSerialPico device no matter which available interface (TTY0/1/2) I used or which USB I used on the back of the LG TV.

Here's the wiring I'm using:

Are there special drivers that need to be installed for the LG TV USB to interface with HyperHDR?

[awawa-dev]

From what I remember, WebOS does not have drivers for every serial device... the best supported were probably devices that work on the serial CDC layer, i.e. Pico, ESP32-s2 mini or ESP32 MH-ET Live (CH9102x). In HyperHDR Adalight driver set the device to 'auto' and try turn them on: in the logs you will find a list of devices and, most importantly, for each productId/vendorId. Although, due to the infamous bug in udev, this is not the final oracle yet, but it may be a hint.
I don't know which version of WLED you are using, but if it is the latest one, there are performance problems with the esp8266, which may manifest themselves in different ways. Everything indicates that this board will no longer be supported by the mainstream WLED, although there may still be some limited builds available.
And one more thing: if it's not a WLED problem and the delay is really noticeable, then perhaps the problem is the capture performance on WebOS and then there's not much you can do except optimize various quirks... but OpenLgTv Discord will be probably more helpful in this subject.

[awawa-dev]

BTW in the diagram you are missing common ground between the esp8266 and the LED strip, not to mention the missing 3.3v to 5v level shifter. But this does not affect the communication between HyperHDR and esp8266, but only the functioning of the LED, (or rather its non-functioning).
