Changing color order per section

Changing color order per section.

I have an WLED project with fixed LEDs in the ceiling. The LEDs are working but the first stripe has a different color order then the others. Is there a way to change the color order per segment? I have the latest Beta 14 b6 installed.

Thank you.

I think you’ll have to use multiple GPIO pins to make this happen.
Each pin can have a different LED type with different colour definitions.
They combine within WLED so from your POV they appear as one continuous strip.

That means you need multiple data lines to drive the different strips, although the power connections can remain as they are.

Are you Searching for something like this:

Well look at that!

I’d heard talk going around that that might be an option, but looks like it’s been added to some of the more recent versions of WLED.

That should let the OP get what they need with just one GPIO.

There’s always something new in WLED :wink:

It must be the same cable it’s one data cable für all stripes.

As @TheLight3r mentioned, there’s a specific fix for that under Config->LED Preferences that lets you change the colour order (“Colour Order Override”) for part of your strip. You just specify the start LED and the length of the override.

It defiantly works. I used that for the pixels I used on the star of my Walmart tree back in May.

White channel swapping will/may not work as expected with color order maps.

Yeah, as well as mixing RGBW and RGB - GRB …

The protocols are not compatible.

Exactly.
