How can i have a matrix and Classic layout at once?

  • Hey everyone,

    In my current Wled setup i have two parts. One part a 21x9 matrix and on the other a 64 leds ledstrip. I can't figure out how to use them both at the same time as a matrix and a line seperatly. can anyone help me with this?

    Hyperion V2.0.16

  • If Matrix and Strip are two WLED Segments, then you can either address all LEDs or one segment only from WLED. WLED does not support to feed to two segments independently.

    If you want Matrix and Strip independently controlled by Hyperion, you need a WLED each. In Hyperion you would then set-up two instances.

  • I do have that :) Thanks


    But when I try to input my matrix into the LED layout, it keeps resetting each time I click into it?



    Its 8 X 128 I've inputted that and saved it 20 times, each time I come back to this screen, it wipes it.

    Ok, some testing and it seems like I can only get a max of 8 x 50? Is that the limit 400LEDs?



    That seems to save.

    How can I position it though? How does it know where it is in relation to the screen?

    I did find this post that goes into it

    https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/issues/1696

    But I dont have these settings at any level.

    When looking to update Hyberbian, It tells me its on the latest.

    hyperion@hyperbian:~ $ sudo apt-get install hyperion

    hyperion is already the newest version (2.0.16~bookworm).

    Why has there been no releases in a year, do I need a beta version?

    Very confusing software this lol

  • Advanced · Hyperion documentation

    Matrix 50x50

    I can save without any problems.

    Which controller and Power supply for 2500 LEDs?

    Official 2.0.16, you can Load Hyperion Beta GitHub Artifacts

  • Thanks,


    so the LED is 8 wide, by 128 high. But it seems I can only go 50 high. That could be fine though for now, Im more interested in getting it working.

    I don't have these advanced settings (as the screenshots above) on any difficulty level (advanced or expert) what am I missing?

  • Click on Advanced Settings!

    regards pclin


  • Where, its not there? I was posting that to show you I don't have it. Am I missing something here?

    This is my UI here


    Just to show you; I have Advanced settings on the clasic layout. But not on the matrix layout

    Edited once, last by liminal: Merged a post created by liminal into this post. (March 13, 2025 at 9:54 AM).

  • Ahh ok I see, thank you for that :)

    I just tried to add the nightly builds and update, but I still get the, I'm on the latest version
