LED stripe connect in series & sync?

Questions
1

I’m working on a little project for mobile dance floor lighting and I need help. The project hardware is really simple: 5x 5m LED stripes WS2812B 60LEDs/m. Each stripe is powered by 5V power supply and is controlled via WLED controller.

I know how to sync all 5 stripes and I know how to connect them in series virtually via DDP RGB.

But I want to do some kind of mix of this sync and series connection:

Stripe 1 → 2 →3 in series

Stripe 2 on the left syncs to stripe 2 on the right.

Stripe 3 on the left syncs to stripe 3 on the right.

Does anyone know how to handle this?

that’s a tricky one, here is how you may be able to do it:

  • add another output on the main controller just before the second ‘2’ or use a ledmap to insert a dummy strip as a second ‘1’
  • make the 1,2,3 into a segment and the second 1,2,3 into a second segment
  • use the “copy segment” FX on the second segment with the source being the first segment

only available in 0.16 nightly build

edit: it may even be easier to do the above but instead of using copy, just make the whole thing one segment and use mirroring

Working fine! Thank you very much.
