I have reached the final step of my design which is using a NodeMCU ESP32 to control 5x SK9822 LED-Strips. I am using several pinouts for DATA and CLK. The hardware (5 different SK9822 strips) is installed and I would like to control them via multiple segments. For segment 1 everything went smooth and the strip is working fine. Unfortunately, I have problems setting up my other segments. The option to choose another APA 102 is not available. See Screenshot:
For what reason is it restricted? I looked it up and got the information that the hardware can easily handle several high speed strips. It’s just the software that restricts this option.
Is there a chance to undo the restriction in the code? It would be very important for me to use 5 APA102/SK9822 on one NodeMCU ESP32. My whole setup in which I put a lot of work and money relies on this. Unfotunately, I wasn’t aware of this in the beginning.
To proceed, I would need help of someone showing me exactly what changes I would have to make in the code. Unfortunately, I am not a coder but I have PlatformIO etc installed and would be capable of following instructions.
