Hi All,
Another newbie trying to do a matrix. I have 14 strips of these:

I have a ECG-P12s as my controller. I was thinking of a 36x50 matrix, which I believe would allow each P12 channel to control 150 pixels. I'll have two strips for spares. Does this sound about right? Also what should the spacing be between the strips, it seems as if 4in is popular? I'm thinking 36 vertical strips across for about 12ft(at 4in spacing) and 50 pixels down.
Am I on the right track? The wiring would look something like this for each 150 pixels.

Any better options?
