Design the PCB and have it made.
yeah i could.. if i really knew how.. been looking at easyEDA and such.. believe me i'd really like to start designing my own i'm just not good at that stuff.
clarktrans:
you can use a Adafruit Trellis and link up to 8 of them together to make arrays of different shapes and the modules maintain the same key pitch as the array is expanded
again, that also takes 5 of them to connect and not align the way i want them.. it's the same issue as the second picture in my first post.
