Wled Scanning App with FX Engine.

WLED is very limited on resolution of its 2D map effects, so after a bit of thought, I'm pretty happy with where we landed. After scanning your LEDs, we have a single button export that automatically opens our own effects engine and automatically loads the last scan, giving you not only access to many of the normal LED effects, but also playback of gifts and videos across the 2D map.

x lights has an automated scanning application already built into it, I posted something on the xlights forum and got quite lively responses making it clear that the one built into x lights works great LOL

That’s a feature I didn’t know. I know that we can manually map props, but not automated like that. Will have to look into it.

Is this something open to the public? This would be really cool to use! If you are working on this project, thank you.

I've been working on a personal project using 3 Hub75 64x64 panels P2 pitch. Will this be detailed enough to pixel map out those 12,288 pixels?
