yep you got it, just a single conneciton ebtween the V- on the power supply is enough to sort the data issues in most cases, just dont mix up Ground and V- as technically they are 2 different things (for some reason lots of people in this hobby use V- and ground as interchangable, its fine when...

proberbly not your issue but doesnt SFTP / FTP need to be grounded at each end for the shielding to work correctly? I have similar flickering issues when the negative from the pixel string does not have sufficient enough current path back to the signal source

also I am pretty sure the shortage ( in Australia anyway) seems to be over for Pi's most retails and wholsalers are listing them as in stock

you can rotate the model 90 degrees in layout by clicking the centre mark until it shows the curves

my similar size matrix of 24x92 (2208 px) I run on 2 falcon ports with 2x power injection at the 500px and 1500px marks @30% - no reason you shouldn't be able to run the whole thing without injection at 12v on 4 ports

Ordered mine on the 21st and still waiting haha!

welcome, I would suggest finding out what your local store stocks and run with that as far as connectors go - it makes that last minute I need 5 more of these plugs much easier to get, personally I run 12v, there is an argument for both, one is not better than the other jsut what better suits...

I have to pull out, I have the spicy cough :( have fun!

do you need any projectors to borrow? I might have access to a few
