WLED Maximum number of segments and preset restrictions

Questions
1

I read in some documentation that there was a limit of 10 segments and on segment 0 did color transitions and other limitations.

Is the documentation current? I’m working on a design that will push those limits and I would like to get clarification before I go too far.

If I can describe it well enough, it may help with my questions. I am creating 20in tall resin letters and will be linning the letter with led strips. The letter will be made of WLED segments such that the segments operate in sync (left of letter is sync’d with right side, etc).

I’ve done a mock up and used 8 segments and saved two presets with no problem. I can see the potential to want to use more then 10 segment

s and save to any preset.

summary,

  1. Max number of segments.
  2. restrictions saving 10+ segments to a preset.
  3. restrictions to saving preset with 10+ setments to a playlist.

Thanks for all of the quick responses to be my newbie missteps and look forward to the responses to these questions.

No the restriction is on having 10 output on esp32 .
For segments there is no restriction on 10 segments

ESP8266 can handle at most 16 segments (but will become unstable and my crash beyond 12)
ESP32 (and variants) can handle up to 32 segments without issues.

Maximum number of presets is limited by file system size or 250 whichever you hit first.
