How to organize my universes for WLED in "resolume" or other software?

Questions

Hello everyone,

in my new project I like to control the pixels of WS2812b, connected to an ESP32, with resolume.
The 360 pixels are triggered by ArtNet with the abovementioned program “resolume”. The hardware implementation is as follows: I use 4 parallel WLED stripes, each 90 pixels and connected to one GPIO.
So, every GPIO output needs 270 channels (RGB) in the universes of “resolume” or other software.

My problem now is that no second WLED element of 270 channels fits into the universe and I have to create 4 universes. For me this seems not to be the most efficient solution, because nearly the half of a universe is not used. For this solution I created a pseudo WLED element in the preferences of WLED to fill the rest of each universe. Otherwise, I wasn’t able to trigger the next WLED element with the second universe and so on.

I think this solution is botch because beside the bad efficiency, I “use” a GPIO, which must not be addressed by ArtNet and is “wasted” if I like to use this for other tasks.

Does anyone have a good solution for this issue?
Please consider, that a universe in WLED has a size of 510, while software like “resolume” use a size of 512.

Thanks in advance!

Hi.
Are you limitet by the Universe?

Hello,
no I am not limited.
I just thought it would be more efficient to fill the universes completely and use less of them

A universe is 512 channels, but we say 510 because each pixel uses 3 channels, and 512 cannot be divided equally by 3. So each universe is 170 pixels
