Troubleshooting

[versionDefect]

I've got an ESP8266 (NodeMCU v3 CH340 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09F8GCVC8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) with some WS2812B RGBNW and for some reason its just not doing anything. Logs don't say much https://pastebin.com/P0qma9DR. I know the LEDs work (tested them with ESPHome).

I flashed it successfully. I've tried different USBs to connect from the Pi to the NodeMCU and connected them to Gpio 2 (D4). I am at a complete loss. It sees the device but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Suggestions?

Hi
Always provide full logs not just a part of it: don't see an issue here. Install v19beta2 from the release section and use 'esp32/esp8266 handshake' and provide logs again. Or you can compile the firmware online for 921600 already as fake ch340 is the most suspected reason. You can find manual here in the wiki.
