Wled: Support of matrix

[wunderbaum]

Hi,
is there any plan to support such led arrays:

Matrix is WS2812B so it's supported by project.

@wunderbaum, you can define 16 segments with 16 pixel each, then the selected effect will show across the whole pannel.

Yes, matrixes are supported, but there are no effects yet that take advantage of them.
That is planned, but there are a few more features i'd like to add first.

16 segments are unfortunately not possible, 10 is the limit right now.

[wunderbaum]

Ok, thanks for the quick response!
When I order now, it takes 6 weeks
Is it worth it?

@wunderbaum those matrices definitely look cool even with most of the 1D WLED effects. If you are interested in E1.31 driving (e.g. Vixen, xLights), you can also use 2D effects. So I would say, go for one :)

I hope you will add support for LED matrix. since rocket life has ceased to exist you have a great angle to play.

I’d really like to see matrix support. I’ve got WLED running on the M5Stack Atom Matrix board which is a micro 5x5 led matrix and esp32 configuration (about an inch cube). The web interface is a little slow but would be very cool if some matrix effects were available.

hi @tkerby can you share how you got Wled running on the Atom Matrix? thanks

Another vote for matrix, and to suggest option for each row / column to have different length and base offset from center to enable layout of a matrix within any convex polygon and not just rectangles. For some shapes such as triangle or parallelogram, ability to do a half 'pixel' offset for rows would be nice to have and still see fx display accurately.

16 sounds like a nice power of 2 for segments, if resources allow for it.

Any news on matrix support? I'm a big fan of WLED and would love to see some 2D effects on my 16x16 led matrix.
