Hello,
I'm new to Xlights. So far I have only used WLED and a little Jinx. I use QuinLED-Dig-Uno boards.
I bought 4 led panels (32 horizontal leds x 8 vertical leds) and I am having difficulty shaping them into xlights.
The panels are connected in a snake, first pixel on the top left, down the first column and then up the second, and so on ....
In Jinx there was a wizard in which I indicated the type of connection of the LEDs and he did everything himself.
In xlights using the matrix model I have some problems as it seems that the "snake" trend of the LEDs is not well managed.
So I tried (successfully) to map them by hand. I created a vertical strip of 8 leds, I assigned the top-> bottom, I cloned it and assigned the bottom-> top to the second. And so on, by hand, I cloned all 16 columns of the 32 available one at a time. This way now the matrix works, but really "heavy" to configure them this way. Also if I wanted to configure all 4 panels it would be really complex. In addition, I could decide to change the position of the panels between them (4 panels in a row, 4 in a column, or 2 x 2) and in this case I would have to reprogram everything. I'm sure this is not the correct way!
So I would like to understand how to easily model a 32x8 panel and then how to interconnect more identical panels to create more complex matrices.
