Configuration question
Roycinger opened this issue · comments
Hi folks,
I recently found this awesome project.
As I have a spare Arduino and a few meters of ws2812b around, I wanted to realize this as a holiday project.
I have dual Monitor setup like this and plan to wire the strips like in the picture below:
I'm a bit unsure how to set up the strips in the config wizard, especially when it comes to:
- not grabbing the 2 middle parts of the screens where no LEDs are attached (right edge of left monitor, left edge of right monitor)
- driving a single LED strip from 1 Arduino for 2 independant displays.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
- not grabbing the 2 middle parts of the screens where no LEDs are attached (right edge of left monitor, left edge of right monitor)
worst case you can manually move/resize grab squares however you want
you could try getting close to what you want with device wizard and finish off by hand
- driving a single LED strip from 1 Arduino for 2 independant displays.
as long as the monitors are connected to the same computer/Prismatik it should just work™

Another issue that I see is the following:
Different sections of the (continuous) strip would need to handle different screens, for example:
Screen 1: LED 1-32, LED 116-166
Screen 2: LED 33-115
Could that be a potential issue?
Would it be more useful to keep consecutive LEDs on the same screen?
shouldn't matter
How could I only add 1-80 on the bottom, right and top edge? Unfortunately, there's only one field for "sides" in the wizard, not for left and right side individually
yeah... you'll need to move them by hand unfortunately... 💀
.. or generate coordinates on your own with external tool (excel, script...)
I just found that out.
I edited my profile .ini file by hand, it seems to work now.
A little odd but it works at least ;)
Hello, I've a question, how do i have to code my arduino uno for an ambilight with ws2811?
