So the plan is to build this structure that has 14 vertical strips about a metre long spread out over a 4m wide rig. So far I’ve got the teensy connected to the adapter and this will happily run the test sketches so the LED are all functional (except for some power issues which I think I’ve figured out. I’m planning to run software like Glediator (or a video player depending on how the resolution looks) which is where I’m running into trouble.
Everything is happily talking to each other so far, the trouble I’m having is with screen configuration. I’ve currently wired the strips as a snake over the verticals and then within the sketches putting in my total led and number of LEDs per strip but this will not trigger any LEDs after the first initial strip. This is also happening with the other sketches with the OctoWS2811 library such as the fire animation. This will trigger the whole strip but only when I say my strip length is the total no of LED as opposed to what I want per column.
Am I wiring this the wrong way or am I setting up the sketch incorrectly? Also for future adaptations how would it work to have different strip lengths??
Happy to help others that are on the same journey, determined to get this thing working!!
