Having a heluva time getting mind wrapped around segments. I’ve heard that the most common reason for segs not working as you want is wrong settings in the led configs area. I have a short single 2811 strip of 90 LED’s. Should the setting in configs be 90?? Boowho?? ---

If you have 90 LED’s and want all 90 in the same segment then yes the segment would start at 0 and stop at 90. A second segment example would be start at 90 and end at lets say 180 (if you had a 2nd 90 segment) ---

Thanks for your thoughts… I’m beginning to think that I have either a hardware issue (esPixelStick) or WLED bugs. Last night I set up two segments 45 each, the first was OK. (candy Cane) I set the second 45 to chase green color… nothing… BUT then I accidentally touched the brightness control… VOILA!!! Second segment now working perfectly. Huh??? Boowho?? ---

Weird. Remember you have to save a preset with your segments or they will not be saved. ---

What version are you running? If you’re not yet, get up to v0.13.3. ---

Jinx Ah… That could well be my problem… I’ll check and report back here. ---

Jinx… That was indeed my problem. I was mistaken when I stated that changing brightness made everything work… Duh!! Now I just need to learn about the JSON API, as I expect you can do much more with effects, etc by using it… Correct?? Oh, and once I got it to working, I set up four segments of 20 LED’s each with Fireworks1D. The fourth segment I set as orange in color… But at the end of each lighting cycle the orange changed to pure red! Not sure what caused this, but I changed all four segments to CHASE and it does not change at all. Thanks ALL for the suggestions/help. Boowho??
