Troubleshooting e1.31 (WLED 0.9.1 with Jinx) #845

Love WLED and have multiple instances around the interior and exterior of my house. Thank you for the great work.

I'm attempting a project to build an LED Matrix, and I want to use Jinx to control it. Unfortunately I've hit a problem and I'm not sure what is the cause. I'm using WLED 0.9.1.

The WLED functions fine under manual control via the web GUI. I can change colors, effects, etc.

In Jinx I add the output device for the WLED device -- I've tried both unicast to specific IPs and multicast.

Like clockwork, as soon as I select "Start Output" in Jinx the lights on the WLED turn off, however nothing I've set up in Jinx seems to go through - no color, nothing. When I stop outputting, the lights powered by the WLED return, which does suggest it is connecting.

I'm not sure how to debug/diagnose this.

If there is anyone who has set up E1.31 and used Jinx I'd love to hear your experience and potential advice.

Cheers!

Did you set the patch matrix in Jinx? This maps all the channels to your actual matrix.
