40% of lights in matrix not working.

[cheeseshark]

I'm running xLights v2022.03 64bit with a NodeMCU ESP8266 with WLED v 0.12.0.

I have the following matrix :  https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING-Individual-Addressable-Flexible-Controllers/dp/B088BTXHRG  (8x32 RGB matrix)

When I run one of the built in effects with WLED all of the led's act normally displaying all colors as expected.

When I create a matrix in xLights, only the first 170 lights light up.

I have the controller set up as follows:

Vendor:  WLED
Model : WLED (I've also tried E1-WiFi and E8-WiFi and it acts the same way)
Protocol:  E131

The rest are effectively the default.

I set the layout as follows:
Type: Matrix
# Strings: 1
Nodes/String: 256
Strands/String: 32
Starting Location: Top Right

String Type: RGB Nodes

As I said, only the first 170 LED's light up, no matter what changes I make.

Thanks in advance for the help

Take a look at the xlights manual......Layout>Models>Matrix

https://manual.xlights.org/xlights/chapters/chapter-four-tabs/models/matrix-model

I know nothing about ModeMCU devices but 170 is a famous number in our world.  That's the exact number of pixels you can control with one DMX universe.  DMX has 512 channels...try dividing that by 3 channels per pixel.

The number of universes fixed the issue.  I bumped up the count on the controller and the full matrix lit.

Thanks for the help.
