If you're planning to set up xLights on this board once you're done installing WLED: STOP. The 2-d setup can make xLights setup go haywire. Set up your xLights matrix models first, then come back and set up the 2-d matrix in WLED.
If you're using a 2-d matrix such as an LED curtain or net, WLED has a handy 2d-matrix setup feature that will take care of the mapping for you. Head to Config and choose the 2D Configuration tab.
Check out these tutorials for more about 2d mapping with WLED:
Change the dropdown to read 2d Matrix, and additional options will appear. If you want to sync more than one panel, you can do it here.
Set up your layout numbers to match the number of rows and columns in your project. These nets have 20 pixels in a row and 20 pixels per meter.
You can also change orientation here - my pixels start in the lower left corner and finish in the upper right.
Matrix Effects
WLED has a hefty number of matrix effects that appear in the list when you've got your 2d matrix set up. Many of them can be customized with speed and intensity sliders, or different color palettes. Go wild!
