The T-1000S (and its T-1000 / T-2000 siblings) is the controller most people start with: an SD card, one data output and a huge range of supported pixel chips. LEDEdit Pro 2026 treats it as its main family and exports .led files for it directly — no conversion step.
What you get for the T-1000
- Three profile families: T-1000 / T-2000 RGB for current controllers, T-1000 Type 47 for variants with type-47 headers, and T-1000 legacy / free for older T-1000 and LED007 builds.
- 81 chip profiles in the main family — from TM and SM16715/SM16716 to APA102, monochrome and DMX variants.
- Export preflight that shows controller, chip, colour order, scenes, frame rate, outputs and LED count before anything is written.
Planning a T-1000 layout
Everything runs on one output with up to 2,048 LEDs in the export profile. Some examples:
| Layout | LEDs | Fits one output? |
|---|---|---|
| 48 × 20 matrix | 960 | Yes |
| 48 × 40 matrix | 1,920 | Yes |
| 64 × 40 matrix | 2,560 | No — split across two controllers or use K-8000 / T-8000 |
| 300 m of 60 px/m strip | 18,000 | No |
In the LED Layout Creator set Max LEDs/port to 2048 so the Used column warns you before a run gets too long.
Tips
- Pick the family printed on your controller — T-1000 and T-1000 Type 47 are different profiles.
- Use the chip name printed on the pixel or the strip’s datasheet, not the strip brand.
- Keep a spare SD card with a known-good file for testing.
Chip profile notes: WS2811 / WS2812B
WS2811 / WS2812B is the default choice for this family (T-1000-WS2811 / WS2812 — 1 of the 81 profiles). Both use a single-wire 800 kHz NZR protocol with 24-bit RGB (8 bits per colour); WS2812B integrates the driver in the LED package, WS2811 is the external driver variant — in LEDEdit Pro they share the same export profile. In the export dialog set the chip to WS2811 / WS2812 and choose colour order GRB for most WS2812B strips, RGB for many WS2811 strips. If colours are swapped, re-export with the other order — see wrong colours on WS2811 fix. Flicker or random colours point to a wrong chip timing (e.g. APA102 or SM16715) rather than colour order.
The other 80 profiles cover TM1812/TM1914, SM16715/SM16716/SM16726, APA102, P9813, LPD1886, UCS8903, DMX2048, monochrome and TLS/Curtain. The T-1000-TLS / Curtain V3/V5 profile is listed but not yet exported — for curtains use the dedicated T-4000 or K-8000 mapping instead. All chips come from data/lep_controllers.json (family t1000_paid).
5-step export to SD card (T-1000S)
- Map LEDs — In LED Layout Creator draw your 48×20 matrix or strip, set Max LEDs/port = 2048, choose serpentine or linear wiring, run Layout Check and click Push to Editor. Verify the Used count is under 2,048.
- Animate on the timeline — Add layers for each zone, drop effect, text, image or video clips from the timeline and scenes guide, and check the per-LED preview (see the LEDEdit Pro 2026 video tutorial for a live demo).
- Pick profile — Output → Export LEDEdit .led → choose family T-1000 / T-2000 RGB (or Type 47 / legacy if your controller needs it) and chip WS2811 / WS2812 (or the chip printed on your pixels). Set colour order, FPS and scenes to export.
- Preflight & write — The dialog shows controller, chip, colour order, scenes, FPS, outputs (1) and LED count. Export to a folder, then use Output → LEDEdit Tools → Write to SD Card or copy the
.ledfiles to the card’s root. Keep filenames as exported. - Test on hardware — If the bar sign project LEDEdit word sign plays but yours does not, check SD-card does not play fix, last LEDs stay dark, and the DXF + AVI fallback for legacy T-1000 builds. Try the Type 47 family as a fallback if the normal file is ignored.
FAQ
Does LEDEdit Pro 2026 work with the T-1000S?
Yes — T-1000 / T-2000 RGB with 81 chip profiles is the main family in LEDEdit Pro 2026. Pick it in the export dialog with the WS2811 / WS2812 chip for most strips.What is T-1000 Type 47 vs normal T-1000?
Type 47 uses a different file header for some T/K hardware revisions. If a normal T-1000 export is ignored by the controller, re-export with the T-1000 Type 47 family and the same chip.Why do colours look wrong or LEDs stay dark?
Swapped reds/greens = wrong colour order (try GRB vs RGB). Dark tail LEDs = too many LEDs for the 2,048 profile limit or a wiring gap — see last LEDs fix and colour-order fix.Related guides
