I have created a ledmap of the Texas map and would like to have one effect on the Texas map (ledmap1.json) while another effect is using ledmap0.json. Is this possible? If not, is there an alternative ? I uploaded a picture of the matrix. It is 32x32. The pixels outside the Texas map are -1 in th…

Sorry i have to go to hospital and read and did this very quick so do not mind if i misunderstood . I do not think you can use two ledmaps at the same time but if you want an effect to be in the background , then what i did is map the square with -1 ( basically Texas is with -1 so revers to what …

Thanks for the reply. Still playing with ledmap mapping. I also determined that the segment range cannot be changed with active ledmapx.json. Tried to change the Stop Y to match the LOVE section. It will pop back to the defined dimensions in the json file. I was hoping to segment the map and have…

The segment range cannot be changed with active ledmap only because you are using MM fork since they have “width” and “height” tags in ledmaps which is mandatory . Try again in AC as those tags are not mandatory . The tool I use for the ledmaps is only excel sheets but i use a formula which is…

I moved away from AC because it did not include the ledmap.json reference in the API. I though I wanted that included in the API for some reason. I’ll definitely try AC again for that reason. I too created an Excel spreadsheet with the formulas. Looks similar to your spreadsheet. I wanted to cre…

For something like what you did for Texas is fine , I am not sure any thing could be automated for all use cases specifically if you will reorder the leds , I tried to for a rings and cube but then i give up , lost few hairs on that , if you have something that could make it easier then sure we can…

@dwmartin0726 what you really need is dynamic gap files. Now that you gave me the idea I may try something. :wink:

OK, now you have my interest peaked. I did a quick search about gaps files. Found a couple of examples but in my excitement to learn more about the gap file I most likely missed the documentation. It here documentation on the gap file or release date notes that I can learn more? Thanks

Thanks, I did find that reference and it was helpful. I was hoping for more documentation on the scope of the gap file, like, can there be more than one gap file, what is required of the ledmap setup and 2D that affect the gap-file, etc. The concept I’m looking for is to “mask” the 2D matrix and ru…

No unlike ledmaps you can only use one gap file at the moment . I think that post was the first to document it . I have not personally used gap files much other then few tests as i do not have fixtures that would use it and ledmaps are better for me but i think that like will be used to document i…
