We have two different light strands soldered to two different pins. By default, the tentacle lights act like an extension of the top lights. WLED treats the two pins like one continuous strand with 40 lights. You also have the option to treat them as two separate segments and run different animations on the two areas. If you want to do this, click “add segment” and create a separate segment for the tentacle lights. There’s a lot of documentation on how this works but it’s pretty user-friendly so play around with it and see what configurations you like.
Choose an effect and a color palette and watch your lights change. When you find a setting you like, you can save it as a preset.
Then, you can string all your presets together into a playlist. You have control over the order of presets, the length of time they play and the transition time.
Since I’m taking this out to a festival where there won’t be WiFi control, I’m going to set up my playlist to start automatically when I turn it on. Take note of the number assigned to your playlist. Click config and LED preferences and scroll down to Defaults. You can tell it which preset or playlist you’d like to start with by entering its number here. Now your project will still run your animations when you’re not near a WiFi controller.
