FPP : LED Panels setup : 18 panel single output chain to form 96x96 pixel displa

[jerome@thielville.com]

Hi,

I am using 18 16x32 p5 LED panels. They are daisy chained in a single output.
I arrange these 18 panels as 3 horizontals by 6 verticals.

I setup in FPP and use advanced layout to configure.

Panels 1,2,3,7,8,9,13,14,15 display correctly.
Panels 4,5,6,10,11,12,16,17,18 are upside down.

I used advance layout tool and rotated the panels that are upside down. It had no effect.

The hardware I am using is rPI 4 with adafruit RGB Matrix HAT + RTC
I am using FPP 18.4.1 image.
How can I setup this layout using a single daisy-chained arrangement.

Even if you were to get it to work, daisy chaining 18 panels on one output from a pi will be horrible.

a) Pi's are the worst choice for driving panels - colorlight best, beaglebone 2nd.
b) For high refresh rates you usually only chain 3-4 on a port.  You can stretch it but 18 is way too far imho.

Hello, do the arrows in the layout match the arrows in the panels??...
