all leds not lighting up
« on: November 02, 2019, 10:54:16 AM »
Just curious is there a max no of leds for one model I have a roof line with 1200 leds in the application  it displays fine but when I turn on the lights and run it they seem to stop at around 1000

Xlights doesn’t care but controllers normally do.

using WLED on a NodeMCU it has 80 effect that play on all 1200 leds it also has E1.31 capability I configured the channels in FPP and when I upload data from xlight to FPP I don't see all the lights list up it apears to cut off at around 1000. So, I'm new to the hobbie so if I'm missing something I apologize

More explanation- So one the NodeMCU Im running a teensy  that we have a sketch on that configured 4 ports each with 3600 channels so then in xlights under layout I just configured all the models to use the correct channels according to what data line I want them to run on then in FPP I configured the output ports accordingly and have E1.31  configured to run on appropriate channels. The reason I suspected xlights is if I take the FPP out of the equation and run xlights directly to the IP address of my WLED server the lights work but nothing past 1000 displays

NOT xlights found the E1.31 protocol has max universe of 4 which is about 680 leds, apologies to Keith
