Solved LED strip not working in betaflight

[Superman11497]

I recently just built a freestyle quad with a SkyStars F722 mini HD Pro flight controller. This FC has 4 designated pads for LED strips and even shows the led strips in the setup guide for the FC. However when I plug the FC into betaflight and turn on the led strip in the configurator tab then hit save and reboot the led strip tab turns off again. Running betaflight 4.4 on the FC. Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this? Anyone else have any issues like this?

I’d follow this video’s process as close as possible, odds are that will fix your problem. If it doesn’t there’s some other troubleshooting we can do.

So it turns out I had the arrows on the LEDs pointing the wrong direction so I fixed that. However that doesn't seem to have fixed the issue with betaflight.

I figured it out. I ended up needing to fix my drivers and reflashing betaflight 4.4. After doing that the Led strip works properly

It sounds like you're encountering a common issue where Betaflight might not properly save settings due to compatibility issues or glitches. I'd recommend checking for any firmware updates for your SkyStars F722 mini HD Pro flight controller or trying a different version of Betaflight, as sometimes newer or older versions might have fixes for these kinds of bugs. Also, ensure your power connections to the LED strips are secure and correctly soldered, as poor connections can cause unexpected behavior.
