Good morning from Germany 😊

I‘m new with WLED and i tried and read a lot…

But i‘m stuck at one problem.

Background: I have a stripe with 60 LEDs… and i want to turn on one LED after the other with a delay from 1 second… and when all 60 LEDs are on, turn all off and start again….

But i dont know, how i can do this…?

Please help…

a playlist is one way, percent effect or set individual leds using JSON command

or write a new FX that does this

or use external control

not sure on what part of “how” you are stuck

There is an effect called “Wipe”.  
I think this is the one you need.
