The matrix details:
The matrix is 1220mm x 1800mm (47 x 71 inches) this is the size of the corex sheet that the CCRs are siliconed to, the strips are spaced approx 110 mm apart and the orientation of the strip to the corex is very important for correct light diffusion. The corex should have the internal ribs running long ways (across the sheet) so the strip is set up so it starts at the top and goes down 12 pixels (1200mm) then joined and spaced 110mm apart secured with silicon to the corex. The second CCR section then runs upwards and so on in a zig zag fashion until you have as many columns as required for me it was 16 columns which makes 4 CCRs at 12 pixels per column for a total of 192 usable pixels with 8 pixels that can be kept a spares. (the CCR pixels are not addressed and can be used in any order)
Each pixel of the CCR is 100mm long so i made the matrix with approx 110mm gap between each CCR section (you can make this 100mm if you wish) this allows a matrix pixel to be created that is approx 100mm by 110mm when the second sheet of corex is put on top of the CCRs. This then allows the light to diffuse into a matrix due to the 120 degree light angle but stops it diffusing into the next pixel due to the rib orientation.
I havent completed this yet as I need to build a supporting frame, I intend to use some electrical conduit or PVC pipe to construct a supporting frame. I will add this to this post when this is done.
The beauty about this matrix is that you can easily build it in a night, its light weight, strong, weather resistant, bright and has many pixels. You can do scrolling text, animations and great transitional effects
What you need:
1: 4 x CCRs or equivalent pixel strip and controller
2: 1220 x 2440 MM sheet of corex 5mm thick
3: 1 x tube of Non corrosive curing clear silicone
4: Solder and soldering iron
5: 4 x 500mm lengths of coloured wire
6: A sharp knife for cutting corex
7: Pair of scissors
8: 1 tape measure/ruler
9: 1 soft pencil
10: Wire cutters
and this is how it looks:

C12V input;with silicon tubing;" strips can be controlled individually? as i have seen a lot that you can control in groups of 2 or 3 but i am looking for strips that you can control each one by it's self
