error with setting MAX_SEGMENTS > 8 about ledcontroller

[noah1510]

Version v1.7.0 now includes the "unlimited" SegmentCount (There is a hardware limit though) and more fixes.

I almost expected that issue to come.
I think at the moment this is not working because the libraries are compiled before the your program.
While compiling the library the compiles assumes MAX_SEGMENTS = 8 and creates the array witch a width of 20.
However while including the library MAX_SEGMENTS is overridden to 20 so the compiler expects to include a library with an array that has a width of 20 but only finds a library which has a width of 8 which causes the error.

I will look into implementing a solution for this soon.
If you want to, you can try to implement a fix for this and create a pull request.
https://github.com/bartoszbielawski/LEDMatrixDriver might be a great reference on how to handle such a situation.

I removed MAX_SEGMENTS the only limit on the segment count is your ram (and speed) this should solve your problems.
I want to do some more testing before I add this to the next version of the library so you have to use the version on the repository to test if it works for you.

Feedback is appreciated.

Cool! Thx.
Will test it out today or tomorrow on a couple of boards and let you know...

Compiled and works on ESP32 and Nano.
Thx!

I will close this issue now the feature will be added in 1.7.0 after I looked for possible memory leaks and added an init function (to support more boards)
