Wled version: version 0.14.0-b5 for ESP32 with DMX.
I have hooked up 10 par fixtures to an Artnet node and configured the LED settings to ArtNet RGB with 10 LED’s. In DMX Output settings, the channels for the fixtures is correct. I’ve had the same setup without WLED running different chases and effects with other DMX software with great success.
In the WLED environment, if I turn the LED’s on, it only activates the first 5 lights and they are all the same color but the wrong one.
To me, it seems like WLED may be bugged or maybe I have it configured wrongly. Here’s why I think so. Each par can has 6 channels, and 10 lights will use up 60 channels. When configured with only 10 lights in the LED Config, the DMX mapping shows correctly all 60 channels, just like I have in all my other DMX software. I think WLED is only outputting the RGB (3 channels) for the 10 lights, totaling to 30 channels, which is the last address of my 5th par can. If I set the LED count to 20, all 10 light up but behave wrongly just like before.
In this writeup, it says the ArtNet signal is only outputting three channels per LED which confirms my suspicion.
“The first pixel output data will always be 0:1:R, 0:2:G, 0:3:B for universe:channel:colorpart.”

This goes against how DMX512 works as it should output per the DMX mapping specified in the DMX output table.
Any ideas how to make this work or if this is bugged? I’m setting it up this way through WLED so I can make use of LEDFx as I have other LED Strips on LEDFx and would like to incorporate my Par fixtures into the equation.
This is my LED Setup, DMX Output Setup, DMX Map, Channel Mappings for fixtures, and the ArtNet Monitor that shows other software are able to push the DMX signal correctly.
