Select 2D Matrix, click the circle next to Basic, change the Panel Dimensions to 64 x 64 and click Save. Next click on Config, then LED Preferences. set Chain Length to 1 then uncheck the "enable automatic brightness limiter and click Save. Full configuration of settings here.
3. Can I use a remote with the M-1?
- Although the device does not come with IR, it does support the WizMote over "ESP-NOW" and this works great inside of WLED! Currently needs a special firmware compiled.
4. How does the microphone work?
- Audio-reactive WLED is built into the WLED firmware we ship with the M-1. Just make sure to enable it from the "info" pane and then try using an effect with the little Musical Note Image next to them!
5. Can I use the M-1 without Home Assistant or even Wi-Fi? Even on my boat/RV?
- Yes! You can directly connect to the access point of your WLED device without a network using a phone or laptop. Look for "WLED-AP" in your Wi-Fi client list and enter in the password "wled1234", head to http://4.3.2.1 or http://wled.me then control your device!
6. How much power does it use?
- The M-1 uses under 1 Amp of power for itself but will use up to 10amps at 5-24 Volts based on the power supply used.
7. Can I reflash this with stock WLED firmware?
- No, it needs a special fork. You can flash it using this flasher tool and use this firmware version.
