Pairing and mapping pixels

1

Hi guys,
I have been running WLED for over a year now on a set of 14 diy nanoleaf triangles without any problems, but I want more.

My latest project is an infinity cube.
I have spent over a week trying to figure this out without much luck, so I joined the community to ask for some help from the people that would know.

My cube consists of 336 pixels split in to 24 strips of 14 pixels each, 2 strips on each edge. The strips do not play in the order that they are wired so I already have them paired and playing in the right direction. e.g. strip 2 forward is paired with strip 21 reverse.

Would it be possible to put this kind of array in to WLED ?
Put simply, can I put the strips in to 2 sets of 12 pairs, 1 for each edge and have all the edges playing the same thing together ?

WLED looks good on my cube as it is, but this would make it soooo much better.

Any help or info is greatly received.
Thanks, Ant247

You can reordel LEDs using ledmap(s) and then create segments as you see fit.

Thanks for the reply.

I understand about the pixel order mapping and the segments, is it possible to pair 2 strips together (even if they run in different directions) and assign as them as 1 segment ?
Something like -
leds_strip_1(0 + i) = leds_seg_1
leds_strip_21(224 - i) = leds_strip_1

I have paired pixels running on another project using a ‘struct’ but I don’t know if this would work with WLED or where it would go.
(The struct was not my work so I don’t yet understand it 100% but I do know how to addapt it for a different strip)

I have the strips for my cube in pairs and they do work with the few patterns I have but WLED is way more complex than my pretty basic code.

Another similar option could be to create 24 segments (running in different directions) and then put them in to pairs.
Even if WLED supported 24 segments, I would still need to put the in to pairs.

I understand that WLED helped with the HyperCube (not sure if this is true). If it is, this should be possible.

Thanks, Ant247

keep in mind that led MAPPING is only for 1D orders
you cand make a array on LEDmapps maybe in future the MAP will apply to the main Stripe config of a 2D array
so it is better to keep the CUBE you plan to build in a way array will accept the wireing

for cube it is best to go up/down
this you can make 4 arrays as of 4sides on different pins

so you can run array efects on eatch off them uniqe
