but we have all done research on serializing the panels into one big display
But you said:-
and wire the LEDs to create a linear series
LEDs are not the same as panels.
It's okay if you don't have any advice
Maybe you missed it but my advice to you was that your thinking was wrong. We get a lot of people here who are beginners and get the fundamentals wrong, part of are "job" here is to correct those misconceptions. We only have your words to go off and if you use the wrong words we can't second guess what you actually meant to say. Or would you rather us say you are differently correct? I am a bit too old for politically correct stuff like that.
but civility is welcome.
Civility is a relative term, we are mainly engineers giving free advice, if you want to pay then sure we can dress it up and pretend that you know more than you actually do, but I can't see the point in that, can you?
