Hey guys, I have installed the latest version of WLED on my ESP8266-12F WLAN with 4MB flash. The recognition of WLED within SignalRGB also works wonderfully, as does the control. However, my problem is as follows: Every time SignalRGB is restarted (either manually or by rebooting the system), the WLED settings are reset to the factory settings. This is annoying in that I have to reconfigure WLED every time. There is probably a similar behaviour if the ESP has too little flash, but 4MB should actually be enough. Similarly, test operation without SignalRGB works smoothly → The settings are retained even after disconnection from the power supply and several days of operation. Can you help me or alternatively recommend another firmware for my ESP with which I can control my LED strips (WS2812B) using SignalRGB? ---

Even i had the same problem but got no resolution to the problem after searching everywhere in the forum as well as reddit posts. I figuredout myself that Signalrgb conflicts with the serial devices. Try powering you esp8266 with a power supply rather using usb connection to power it on. Or use a power cable instead of data cable. It will work.
