Hello everyone  
I’m new with wled I think it’s great  
I have several panels (4) of 8x32  
I manage to scroll a text on a single panel, but never on 2 or more.  
do you have to meter the number of leds in for all the panels normally 1 panel 8x32=256 so 4x256 1024  
But I can’t meter 1024  
It’s in 2d configuration that I don’t know what to enter as a value (I may have tried everything)  
Could you help me with the configuration on several panels.  
On the other hand I use a d1 mini v3 maybe it’s better an esp32?  
Please help me  
sorry for the translation i am french

That would really depend on how did you wire the matrix so i assume you are doing just 32x32 , show your fixture otherwise . so there are multiple way to setup that , the easy way that could work is just add one 32x32

Or four 8x32 so something like that

The best one to setup i think would be tinkered from your side though 🙂

Thanks for your help  
But still it doesn’t work  
I give you the photos of my led panels  
I would like to have at least 2 horizontal display LED panels and the other 2 below to make a scrolling text display.  
I hope I explain myself well.  
Thank you again for your help

Why did you setup only 300 leds under led preferences , if you are using four 8x32 then total is 1024 pixels . And 850mA is also too low

There is no way you are going to power 4 of those through an esp’s usb port and also no way you will power them with those dupont breadboard jumpers. You will 100% fry those jumpers and likely the esp. You need another power source and will need power injected at the beg/end of each panel.

Did not notice the pic for MCU and that is not proper , keep only ground and data from esp32 and use external power source [Getting Started - WLED Project](https://kno.wled.ge/basics/getting-started/)

Thank you for your answers  
I know very well for the food I will go through another one and the duponds also it is for the tests.  
Finally I understood the operation it was necessary to select the segment startx on 0 and stopx on 64  
By dint of seeking have found.  
Now I will deepen a bit with MQTT and Home Assistant  
it also seems with the Xlights software can do a lot of things. (I downloaded it)  
Thank you again for your help  
yes, small question:  
I also have 4 p4 2121 panels can we make them work with? (from what I have seen I don’t think so.) could you confirm this for me…  
THANKS

To use hub75 with wled:

1. Pixelvation [GitHub - Pixelvation/Pixelvation](https://github.com/Pixelvation/Pixelvation)
2. FPP on a pi ( or clone ) and colorlight card
3. … others  
To use without wled and DIY with only esp32 [GitHub - mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-DMA: An Adafruit GFX Compatible Library for the ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3 to drive HUB75 LED matrix panels using DMA for high refresh rates. Supports panel chaining.](https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA)

Maybe if you use tiny matrix like this 8x32 😄
