Hello, I have the following problem.
I am running an Athom controller with firmware 0.14.4 (WLED 0.14.4). Connected to this is a FCOB WS2811 720LED 5 metre strip.
In the LED settings I have set 8000mA and LED Begin 0 and End 720.
The whole strip lights up correctly and the effects work as desired.
When I set up segments, I can only enter a maximum of 99 LEDs at the end. As soon as I enter 100, the whole strip lights up.
Example:
begin led - end led = segment number
Test 1 - does not work - all segments light up like segment 1
000 - 360 = segment 1
360 - 720 = segment 2
Test 2 - does not work - all segments light up like segment 1
00 - 20 = segment 1
20 - 40 = segment 2
40 - 60 = segment 3
60 - 80 = segment 4
80 - 100 = segment 5
Test 3 - works - each segment lights up differently
00 - 20 = segment 1
20 - 40 = segment 2
40 - 60 = segment 3
60 - 80 = segment 4
80 - 99 = segment 5
Is this a bug?
sometimes you need to reset the segments to get a better working relult
WHAT ESP is there andonly one pin ?
Can you make a screenshot from the setup config LED
Splitt the 720 LED Strip in 3 parts with 144 LED dosn´t work.
Only the change on Segment 1 changes color or effect on the whole strip
When i split the strip till 99, then the segments work.
Comes it over 99, the segmetation dosen´t work.
i woudt delete the Presets All
then goto config safe the config again and wait untull the ESP restarts
then try solid 0-720
if you can go as it says 5FPS please use 2pins
and then under LED preferences set the Frames per second to 25 FPS

720LEDs per meter FCOB strips are only addressable every 36 LEDs So:
720LEDs x 5m = 3600 3600 ÷ 36 = 100 Addressable sections for a 5m strip.
WLED LED Preferences should be 100 and not 720 as you only have a total of 100 ws2811 IC chips on that 5m strip. (That is why when you put in 100 all the lights are lit.)

Thanks for the explanation.
Now everything makes sense
