RandR, about your 144 / meter strips….
Did they have any spaces with solder joints after a certain number of leds? I’ve read that some strips can have a soldered joint / space after as little as 50cm. I don’t know if that’s only for 2m strips, or also for 1m strips…
If that’s the case, then that could be a problem for making a matrix that could be up to almost 2 feet wide. I’m sure this isn’t an issue for 60 / meter strips, but if I want to buy 144 / m, I want to know for sure if possible.
Do you have a link to the strips that you bought?
Also, some of the strips are waterproofed by silicon, some by a plastic tube, and some has NO insulation at all. Which is preferable? I was thinking the plastic tube strips could be good for the sides of the playfield.
Also is there an ideal number or rows for the matrix to be? I know DOF can scale to any number that you have, but I’m wondering if there has been an established ideal “standard”.
I also wonder if anyone has attempted to make a larger dmd out of these addressable leds yet, and has figured out a way to make it work with with VP, etc? Maybe something like this that is the perfect ratio for dmd:
If you have the room, this could make for a nice back matrix possibly?
Thanks for any info. Want to know as much as I can before possibly making the plunge.
