can i do this with p10 panels

[boarder]

since the controller can do alot of panels. can i set 3 panels together than another 3 and space them 2ft apart than connect 3 more and so on  using 1 controller and power supply?

Yes, but you have a limit of 8 panels per port.

Yes.  One of the features I want to add this year would let you treat each of those 3-panel sections as a separate matrix without having to resort to using custom models in your sequencer.  My display layout will need this ability so it will be high on my priority list.

If you put your controller in the middle and used two ports , you could achieve 3 + 3 (+ 2) on either side .

Is this what i can do? or can add more panels with one controller set up. Remember i want to have a 2ft space between each 3 connected panels.

[CaptainMurdoch]

Is 15 the total number of panels you want to run?  If so, then yes, put the BBB/Octoscroller in the middle and put 8 panels on the first output connector and 7 on the second output connector.  The reason I say do it this way rather than using more than 2 outputs is because when we optimize the Octoscroller output code later this year, you will end up getting a higher refresh by using fewer outputs.  You should be able to go 3 feet between panels, but you may want to test with yours first before building the whole display.

Good to know.  This week I am setting up a 15 panel display item and was torn between putting the BBB in the middle and zig zagging the panels or running more outputs.
