Unlock the Potential: Pushing WLED 0.14.0 to the Limits with Massive 1024 LED Panel 

Thank you! Cheers!

I think that’s pushing WLED to far there , the current draw will be massive and over 800 LEDs WLED don’t recommend

Is this possible ?

@@MicroChipz technically yes. Trying to figure it out myself. Could be done with an API call with WLED too but IDK how to code yet.

Maybe power draw ? , overloading something ?

Its a custom board i had made a few years ago.

Interesting , will give it a go.

@@MicroChipz came to say the same. I have pretty much the same as MicroChipz but in a square config, but using 2 pins. Interestingly enough, when I tried using an 8266, WLED gave me a warning to not use 1024 leds on one pin, but when i tried again on an ESP32, WLED did not give me any warning. but I still wired them up in 2 sets of 512.

I haven't got a power supply capable of running at full , the heat this would generate would be a concern. Each LED uses 60ma and full bright ( white ) so multiply this by 1024. Its a big number.

It would consume 61.44 Amps. That's nuts

@@paulushdk I actually just finished a built with 1024 LEDs in a 32x32 configuration, so 4 16x16 panels. I've set the brightness limit to 10A in WLED, and it's still shockingly bright. So yes, they technically could consume 62A, but it's absolutely not necessary to do so.

I believe segments and using more gpio to control each panel
