2 Wemos to get more ports. Is it possible ?

[etakeo]

Hi, first of all, thanks for this great work. I got it working pretty well. This is wonderful. I'm now upgrading my back panel to one with higer density and planinng add a Stern (Fire) Button. I'm getting out of memory messege when trying to flash a code with #define MaxLedsPerStrip = 2048. So I'd like to know if is it possible to use 2 Wemos at the same time to get more possibilities and more ports ? How can I handle with Cabint.xml with different COM ports for each board ?

Hey hey,

I'm kinda interested in a setup like that also, probably @Vroonsh or @yoyofr are the ones with more knowledge if something like this are possible or not.

Hey !!
Yup the max on a Wemos D1 Pro is ~1200 for MaxLedsPerStrip

I think it's totally possible to have several Wemos.
Just duplicate the WemosD1MPStripController Descriptor in your cabinet.xml file, changing the name and setting the second one to another Com port.
You'll also need to correctly setup all NumberOfLedsStrip#num value in the new controller, matching what you've connected to it.
Then redirect each ledstrip attached to the second Wemos by changing the OutputControllerName value and FirstLedNumber (of course Width & Height).
It's mainly redoing the same setup you did on the first one but on the second :).
It should work.
