Multi monitor support

Luciferin supports multi monitor configurations (via USB or Wireless through MQTT). You can choose to use one microcontroller for all the monitors or one microcontroller per monitor.

Pros of one microcontroller per monitor (1 LED strip per monitor driven by a dedicated microcontroller)

• No need for daisy chaining multiple monitors, no flying connection between monitors.
• No bandwidth restrictions on the microcontroller, higher framerates are possible.
• Per monitor control, if you have a triple monitor setup, but you want to game on a single monitor, you can do it.

Pros on one microcontroller for all the monitors (1 single LED strip for all the monitors driven by 1 microcontroller)

• Light effects like rainbow or similar can be synced along the entire LED strip.
• Easier wiring and easier to troubleshoot.

How to setup multiple monitors

• If you are using FULL firmware and you want to use the same MQTT server on all the monitors, please configure MQTT, skip this step if you are using the LIGHT firmware.

• In the "devices" tab, please select dual or triple display as per your preference, please select "Single device" if you want to use one microcontroller for all the monitors, click save

• Luciferin creates a tray icon for each monitor

• Right click the tray icon and configure the number of LEDs you are using on that monitor.

• If you are using one microcontroller per monitor, you need to configure an output device for each monitor. Please use "COM ports" if you are using a USB cable, use "Device Name" if you are using Wireless Stream.

If you are using a single microcontroller Firefly Luciferin will generate a Gold instance, gold instance is the master instance that rule them all.
