- QLC+ is very powerful DMX software to drive lighting fixtures. In this video I get you up and running in this short tutorial.

Nice work, your dead pixel is because you didn't reset the simple desk. It is the final arbiter of what is sent out on dmx lines.
Oh right, make sense. Thanks!
Hey, great you make content for this! Helps me a lot. As feedback I would recommend to record your screen in better quality as it is quite hard to read what you are clicking, selecting or typing sometimes. Have a nice day!
Yes I did notice that after uploading. I think it's an OBS thing. I will double check next time. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Jason! Thank you for making this video! You're one of the only people with a video on how to integrate WLED with QLC+!
How would you change the settings in QLC+ to accommodate for around 400 LEDS combined together in one series and around 500 LEDS combined together in another series. But, both LED series are in parallel with other as they are coming of the same voltage, data, and ground pin from the WLED board (sound reactive board from Domestic Automation).
My second question is what do you do if the IP address of the ESPboard changes everything you plug it in? Do you have to first check what the new IP address of the board is, and then change the IP address in QLC+? Any solution to not make it change it's IP address? I cannot connect my WLED board to wifi because it's my school's private wifi.
My third question is how can you integrate a tactile touch pad like a Akai MPD218 which is a MIDI pad controller into QLC+.
I currently have 0 experience with QLC+ and MIDI, but my goal is to be able to use a tactile surface to quickly change WLED animation settings on command when I strike the tactile button. Sorry for so many questions. I would appreciate your guidance! Thank you in advance!
This was my first attempt with QLC+ it's not really my wheelhouse but seems very powerful. DMX by its spec can only hand 512 channels (LEDs) per universe. 500 leds is 1500 channels (for RGB) you would need to create multiple universe's and create a group. You can fix the ip address in WLED so it is static, or if you have the capability in your router you could assign an IP to the MAC address. The later being better IMHO as personally I have had random results will ESP8266 and fixed ip's.
