WebGUI API: Effekts and colorchange on Presets with individual LEDs

Issues
1

Hi,
I build an array of 100 leds in a hexagon shape. Now I want to create some Presets with individual leds to get shapes like a star or smaller hexagons via the API on the WebGUI.
I can control individual leds with this API code:

{
"on":true,
"bri":128,
"inputLevel":128,
"transition":7,
"mainseg":0,
"seg":
[
	{"i":[32,[255,0,0], 36,[255,0,0], 40,[255,0,0], 78,[255,0,0], 80,[255,0,0], 82,[255,0,0]],
	"grp":1,"spc":0,"of":0,"on":true,"frz":false,"bri":255,"cct":127,
	"fx":127,"sx":128,"ix":128,
	"c1x":0,"c2x":0,"c3x":0,
	"pal":0,"sel":true,"rev":false,"rev2D":false,"mi":false,"rot2D":false},
	
	{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},
	{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},
	{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},
	{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},{"stop":0},	
]
}

But when I do this, I can not use the Effects on this preset neither change the color via the WebGUI.
Also when I change the effect number in the code it seems to do nothing.
Is there a way to apply effects on this presets?
And is there a way to change the color of all individual assigned LEDs together via the API code or the WebGUI?

Many thanks for answers or links which would help me.

Yes you can not interact with that in gui if you are using individual led control , you will see the eye in your segment once you issue the api . All other setting you include in your presets does not matter

If you want to customize all effects for your fixture then might be look at using a custom ledmap so that effects could somewhat move according to what you want

thanks for the fast reply. I unfortunately guessed this

Yeah , have you tried to use ledmaps , if you do then default effects might just work for you , i mostly use matrix but that is normally what I do for cubes

This sounds interesting, do you have a link?

My array looks like this

It is fairly simple to add ledmap as per the example here Mapping - WLED Project , the hard bit is which ledmap works better with most effects . If you have your fixture mapped as matrix in 2D then you might also get better result

Thank you, I will check it out :slight_smile:
