How to offset leds strip start position?

i am not getting the grasp really why you want to cut BOTH ends, it means that you have to solder the ends 2x again??

note: over 200 leds its better to power the strip from beginning AND end

anyway, what you can do > go to your browser aka : 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:8090 ( or every other IP range)

second, if you resized the ledstrip to your tv and cutoff the 16 leds than the first physical led from the cut is still one.

you can alter it with setting "input position" so the leds and image wil aligne.

you can blacklist the leds you don't want to get lid,

and you can even make a new LED instance for them, so you can switch from main instance to second or even thirth

okay now i know what you mean.

you have to start the first programmed led at physical led17?.

physically the first led connected on the strip to data is also LED 1 in programming.

if you want to change this then u use input position option,

the only thing this does is to refer to the first programmed LED but not the physical LED, the physical LED is stil there ( first 16 of them) and they go behind in the counting of the program, so become the end led's.

the blacklist option is the best thing to achieve that you only want to use some particular part of the strip!

but then YES, the led effect will not lid the blacklisted led's and only start at led 17 and END" at led 114

the only thing you can do:

Hyperion doesn't know how much led's there are physically, it only knows because you tell the program the hardware ledcount.

you can try to increase the hardware ledcount by 32 and then still blacklist the leds you don't want and use the input position on led 17

try that, i have no more idea's to share.

Looks like the feature doesn't exist but someone found a hacky way to make it happen

so use this trick, alter the Json file and OFFset the first led by 16.

then shorten the total physical led count by 16 > 114 in total then ( empty/0 led's is also counted as leds in the program. )

this way you don't have to blacklist led's or make a gap.

and update us !

starts at led 17 now.

good luck!

so I applied the workaround and added the amount of offset pixel I need and it's working very well now

i did this also to test, and the link at Github is just the same than blacklist led's in the configurator.

i compare the Json outcome from either of them and resulted the same. > Hyperion 2.012

can you share your ledconfig from the webpage and Json? it helps otherss that are struggling with this.

Create a layout for 76 LEDs and copy the layout.

Now create a layout for 108 LEDs and blacklist the first 16 and last 16.

Now insert your copied layout from 17 into the 108 layout so that the blacklisted LEDs remain at the beginning and end.

save, done.

EDIT:

You can also simply create a 108 layout and copy and save my created layout.

super guys. I notice I am much more in hardware than software troubleshooting 😀

I was already thinking about making 2 or more instances.

And then adding 2 or more extra soldered dataline inputs starting at led 17

And then connected to different GPIO

Each GPIO different instance....

But this works also 👌
