i would like to connect 2 ledstrips on an arduino Nano. each ledstrip with its own program. 1 strip with colourpallette:CloudColors and 1 with just warm white light. i’m using WS2812 B ledstrips. Can someone help me out because i’ve done several things but nothing is working.

Thanks Jonas

Hello you can in fastled define several strips each on a separate pin.
Let’s say first strip X leds on data_pin1 and second strip Y leds on data_pin2

CRGB strip1[X];
CRBG strip2[Y];

FastLED.addLeds<NEOPIXEL, DATA_PIN1>(strip1, X);
FastLED.addLeds<NEOPIXEL, DATA_PIN2>(strip2, Y);

Then operate any change you want on either strip as they were independant
The FastLED.show()
Will display both of them
Let me know if it helps
