Thanks for the post. I am very new to the WLED and ESP32 universe but am treading above water so far. I first setup a 4 panel 32 x 8 setup and it worked great. Black Friday made me spend and I am now setting up a 12 panel display. I have them all working together in a large matrix and am building a case to carry it around with semi transparent white acrylic to disperse the light. I tried to setup sound reactive on a second chip 13.2 version tonight and it fried it when I setup the large matrix. It did the same with another one but I was able to recover it. That led me to 0.14.0-b2 I was able to flash it to a chip with sound reactive and everything looks good. I will try it in the morning. That led me to your video. I was wondering how to layer the scrolling text over other effects since I started this project and it looks like you have figured it out. I will also try that in the morning. Many birthday and Christmas parties this month. Everyone loved the small panel I am sure the will like the new one even more.
Hi i succesfully compiled and uploaded the NEW Binary from Master 0.14.1.b2 to ESP8266 the WLED-IP/json/effects list showing all the new effects but the Effects like DNA ScrollingText you are refering to are not in the Browser showing up
cool video.... is thare any way to stop from test scrolling.... for example "ALARM" or "ON AIR" in centre of matrix.... maybe text flash. just appear text then off and on without and scrolling effect?
That is a good question. I had the same thought and I think it is possible, but it will probably involve modifying the FX.cpp function mode_2Dscrollingtext(void) function. I have an unlisted video (czcams.com/video/2Qi-ZgTc8Nk/video.html) where I modify this for custom text, but I think you could modify it where you set effect speed slider to 0 and it will freeze.. You just need to calculate how big your text is and where the first letter needs to be drawn in relation to the center of your matrix.
Depends on what you want to do. If you're looking to build a sign, you can set up your matrix as an 8x64 or a 16x32. Setup your configuration in the 2D configuration section
It looks like since this video released, they've officially released 0.14.0-b4 which (according to the change logs) fixed the ESP8266 problem. You can get the official binary release a try now For the video I was using an ESP8266, but at the time with 0.14.0-b2 the 8266 build was broken. I'll need to try it again with the b4 build.
@@manongdiychannel3665 I don't have a wiring diagram for this particular video because each ESP8266/ESP32 board is unique and there are only a few pins that are important. I can say that for this particular video I used HiLetgo ESP8266 NodeMCU ( amzn.to/45TlHXP ). The pinout for that board is m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tOezAohEL._AC_SL1100_.jpg. The important pins on this board are: -) GPIO2, GPIO4, GPIO12, etcc - These are the data pins I usually use -) GND - Make sure the ground for the board and the lights are joined if they have different power sources. -) VIN - For this board I usually power it via the micro USB so this pin isn't needed. Most of the WLED devices I use with xLights and need to communicate between each other quickly. WiFi can't handle that volume so most of the devices I use are Ethernet WT32-ETH01 boards ( amzn.to/47V4QWx ). If you're interested in how my light show devices are wired up, I do have a behind the scenes video ( czcams.com/video/GeJxolPpiE8/video.htmlsi=ye_B2KydWBTbeIxK ) on how I built them. I also have a video on how to use VSCode to build/deploy WLED to dev boards ( czcams.com/video/nvM-QI4Z_M4/video.htmlsi=-V8wI38p9Q7eywvq )
That is a good question. I assume that it supports Unicode characters. Have you tried opening the WLED UI in a browser and putting the unicode Cyrillic letters in the box?
I put the link to the commit point in the description. Not sure which board you are using so it could be any number of bin files. You can download (the green Code button allows you to download a zip of the code) and use VSCode and Platform IO to build the bin file for your particular board. github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/tree/d553160d653f51ad82615d9c2ba7a1f533dfc067
Very good friend, your explanation although I have to translate into Spanish. one question I have this video translated both in audio and subtitles into Spanish I can share it with friends and followers thanks for reading good morning from Colombia thanks
Es una buena idea. Tomé 4 años de español en la escuela secundaria, pero no lo hablo con fluidez. Parece que crear subtítulos no es tan difícil, así que lo intentaré.
So cosa vuoi dire. Anche se hai detto zero, scorrerà comunque. A partire dalla 0.14, per quanto ne so, non c'è una via d'uscita dagli schemi. In realtà ho esaminato il codice e penso che sia possibile, ma dovresti sapere quanto è lungo il tuo testo e bloccarlo. Il testo inizia fuori dallo schermo, quindi dovresti modificare il codice per centrarlo sulla matrice. Risposta breve, solo se modifichi il codice.
Io sto litigando con il testo, tipo per cambiare font, e a un certo punto il testo non mi scrorreva piu e me lo dava bloccato perfettamente in mezzo, purtroppo non so ricrearti la situazione.
Really nice video. Thanks. But I have to watched like 6 times until I realizes that you unselect the first seg. That part pass soo fast that is almost impossible to watch the first time...

Awesome! Funny enough I have a lot of family birthdays in December as well. Hope the text overlay works for you.
sigue asi profe buen dia
¡Gracias! Espero que los videos ayuden con sus proyectos personales.

Sorry about that. I try to jam a lot of info into a short space so some of it goes fast. I'm glad you caught the segment switch
