I'm attempting to build some modular shape structures with led strips. I'd like to start off by constructing a square, which i can then connect to other identical squares.

Among many things, I'm struggling with how I would orientate the led strips/data for each square.

I want to have individual control of each square and I'm not sure if this means each square needs to be a separate output from my controller or if i could wire one long strip up in series and then use the software (resolume) to control each square specifically?

If i can wire it all in series, so data into the top left of square one, the strip would need to run around back to that corner and then id need to wire the data from there into the next square right? Or could i run a 3 way connector at any corner and run this into the next square? This would help with the simplicity of connecting adjacent squares but the data line doesn't make sense to me if its splitting from one point into two.

Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

I'm planning to build some led strip fixtures for a live show (music) and looking for good strobe performance in particular, so looking to go as bright as I can within a reasonable portable setup. I do also want pixel control.

System:

Ableton Live - MIDI data to design and sync lights to music - send to >

Resolume - artnet to>

H807SA controller (ethernet connection) >

Mean Well LRS-150-24 Power Supply >

24v WS2814 FCOB RGBW strip

Aluminium channeling

Once I've got this working, my plan will then be to try and build some fixtures and design a show synced to my music.

Does this sound like a decent setup (within a fairly tight budget)?

I've done quite a lot of searching and that strip sounds like it will be the brightest for strobing white, is this correct?

Any general thoughts or advice?

Thanks so much for any help, completely new to this.
