###### Segment Setup

!!! success "WLED works using segments and your device now has different stop and end pixels for each segment since you have added more LEDs with each additional panel"
110+
111+
Below we will create multiple Segments in WLED which we will then edit until they are setup to show the correct number of pixels for your number of panels.
112+
113+
Think of segments like taking one big set of leds and cutting them into smaller chunks to then individually control. Segment 1 will control the top 1/4 of the display, Segment 2 will control the second 1/4, Segment 3 will control the third 1/4 and Segment 4 will control the bottom 1/4 of the matrix.
114+
115+
You can go back later and change these to your own layout - for example maybe you want to control all of the first led matrix with Segment 0 and the second matrix with Segment 1 you can definitely do that!

1\. Navigate to the main page of your wled instance in a browser or using the WLED-native app and focus on the Segments section.
120+
121+
2\. Since we are using two panels, we will begin by editing Segment 0 and setting the Stop X to "128" and the Stop Y to "16"
122+
123+

124+

3\. Click on Add segment, give it a name (such as Segment 1) then set the Start Y to "16" and the Stop Y to "32".
126+

4\. Click on Add segment, give it a name (such as Segment 2) then set the Start Y to "32" and the Stop Y to "48".

5\. Click on Add segment, give it a name (such as Segment 3) then set the Start Y to "48" and the Stop Y to "64".

6\. You should see four equal segments 0-3 at the top of the screen.

7\. Test it by changing the effect to "Scrolling Text" and editing the name of each segment to be any text you want!

!!! warning "Your segments need to be saved to a Preset or they will disappear when you reboot or run other presets."
146+
147+
You must save your segments as a preset or they will get wiped away after a reboot or when another preset with different segments is used.
148+
149+
8\. Save your segments by creating a new preset. Click on the + Preset button and typing in a name then clicking Save at the bottom.
