Usually out of memory.
I removed the two ’ from ‘{“staircase”:{“bottom-sensor”:true}}’ in the curl command.
Now it says {“success”:true}.
But nothing is happening.
Flash debug build to ESP, attach USB and monitor serial output.
Animated staircase usermod is quite chatty in debug mode so you’ll be able to see what it is doing.
Let’s supposed I have an ESP8266 available and want to use this usermod, but also have 24 steps.
Is there a way to automatically - without the use of WLED segments - to artificially segment the strip according to the strip’s known # of LEDs and a usermod variable “numberOfSteps” or something like that rather than detecting number of segments defined?
I’ve seen this done effectively in specific purpose LED strip code that just did staircase LED strip control.
Instead of controlling segments, it would be control an abstract array of “step” which has ~ numberOfLEDs / numberOfSteps (fixed math)
Not with this usermod. It requires segments.

Good afternoon. In version 13, the second segment blinks regardless of the settings, what could be the reason? VID20211024133930.mp4 — Яндекс.Диск
Hi everyone, can anyone help me figure out how to set up segments for a 10-step ladder? I’ve been trying for 5 days but I can’t.
I uploaded usermod, but I can’t figure out how to get them to turn on gradually.

It won’t work. They don’t work smoothly
@pa1okz Can you please provide some more info regarding how you interconnected the thin wires going to the strips with the thick awg14 main power wires? I am seeing that the result is very clean and neat and nice looking so am asking for your experience. Tnx in advance. P.s. excellent excellent work though
@henc Do you managed to solve the issue? I have the same issue with my KS6812 strip.
No, Igor, it doesn’t work. And I compiled it myself and used the finished firmware, anyway this error comes out.
What kind of strip are you using? If I look at the code I do see that it uses WS2812FX. Can it be that this usermod is not compatible with KS6812 led strips?
Good afternoon Igor. I tested on WS2812 . WS2815. There is no difference. You are from Russia, write to vacap +7 916 6750587 we will talk without an interpreter in your native language
I will have a look… Just be patient.

Nope. I’m from The Netherlands 
Good to know that it is not a problem with the led type. Let’s hope blazoncek can find out more.
That would be much appreciated. Thx
I’ve managed to compile and install v13.0-b0. This build works as expected. As soon as I compile and install v13.0-b2 it starts doing weird stuff with my segments. I also tried the latest build (v13.0-b6). Still has the problem. For now I’ll stay at v13.0-b0
I use finally release wled. The second segment is blinking for me😥
Hello. Today I discovered this user mod. I have been using the stairwipe user mod for stairs for more than a year, but yesterday after the update I was unable to run it, I don’t know why. The jury tried this, but since I use external sensors and automation in node red, I would like to run this effect with commands, which I haven’t been able to do yet. So please help which command to use. Either MQTT or HTTP API or something else I can test quickly and then play with the debugging. Thank you
