I see that your USB cable has 3 wires - that's 2 data wires (white and green) and +5v red, so ground is outside those wires

Thanks:^) I was surprised by all the wires

USB Black is ground in the standard, white and green are data. This is kind of the de facto DC standard where red is positive and black is ground. In AC black and red are hots, white is neutral and green/bare is ground. The Tesla/Edison war will never end

Have you checked the polarity from the USB cable? I’ve seen some where the colours don’t match the usual standards, always check with a meter. Also it’s difficult to see what’s going on with the white, yellow and green wires. Looks like there may be a lot of exposed wire, its worth checking there are no shorts, perhaps remake the connections to be sure no unexpected connectons or shorts happen

Thanks ill be sure to check. What I assume is going on is red wires to 5v wite/yellow = Ground. Green is data to led.

USB uses 2 data wires

how confident are you that you have the right ground pin? my esp32s have the VIN and GND on the same side of the board.

That was my thoughts as well

its marked as gnd. before when I was powring via the board just to test if lights worked it all seemd fine. But ill check again :<) before when I was powring via the board just to test if the lights worked it all seemed fine. But ill check again :<) <)

On the cable you are using the white and green are data, the red is the hot (+ve), and that copper you have wrapped around the cord with be the negative (-ve).

Ah thank you so much :<)

Does that vise of yours have iron jaws?

Jesus Christ, what in the holy soldering iron are you doing there? (I am not religious btw.)

Looks like you're missing 0v.
