Hi everyone, I have a question. I’m using version 0.14.4 and I have an ESP32 WROOM to which I’ve connected two other LED strips, each controlled by a separate ESP32 WROOM via virtual leds.
One of the strips is quite long and draws about 10A, while the other is much shorter and only consumes 1A.
My question is: on the current limiter of the ESP32 I’m using as the master, what value should I set?
If I set it to 10A, is this limit applied to both strips individually, or is it the total combined limit for both?
good question, I don’t think the limit applies to virtual leds. Set the limit on the receiving devices.
Hi Dedehai,
I just published a video where I build a remote control for WLED based on virtual LEDs. By setting individual current limits for each “slave” project, they operate correctly with the appropriate brightness.
When activating virtual LEDs and setting, for example, a very low current limit on the ESP32 “master”, the “slave” devices will automatically lower their brightness as well; the same happens if you set a very high current limit.
At the moment, I can’t tell you exactly how this behavior is applied — whether the limit set on the “master” is equally replicated across all “slaves” or divided among them.
I’ll do some more tests to understand it better and will keep you updated!
@blazoncek may know if this is intentional behaviour.
With segment blending/layering the strip level ABL is back. Otherwise use per port ABL.
