Prismatik 255 led limitation #442

Open Erikcb91 opened 3 years ago

Erikcb91 commented 3 years ago

Hi, i'm using prismatik (unofficial 5.11.2.27) with an arduino nano and ws2812b leds in windows 10. The thing is, i can't find a way to use more than 255 leds. Is there any way to increase the limit? My setup has 266 leds. I searched but i didn't find any solution, i saw some people who did it. I tried changing the device in prismatic (even tho it says adalight supports 511 leds). and it doesnt work. I saw some people who managed to do it editing some lightpack files, but i have no idea how to do it, i don't have any lightpack files (or i can't find them) on my computer. I'm only using prismatik and arduino IDE to upload the code to my arduino. I hope any of you can help me with this. Thank!

This is not a limit of prismatik but instead of the adalight firmware you put on your arduino. In there, the LED count is most likely defined as a uint8_t . For me this firmware https://github.com/dmadison/Adalight-FastLED works fine with 342 LEDs.
