Pixels

Pixels is the main section for addressable LED layout and reusable pixel effects.

Display prerequisite

Pixel Lighting and Pixel Effects appear after at least one Pixel Strip module is configured in Configure > Connections > Inputs, Outputs, and Modules.

The manual’s common pixel hardware is WS2812B addressable pixels (Paid Link). Add the strip as physical hardware before using this page to divide it into strings, matrices, rings, groups, and effects.
