change of plans can this be done with more leds such as my 144s? im wondering how much of a battery id need
Those look more like 60’s. You put 144’s on there and I suspect you’ll have a doggy BBQ.
60’s would also be easier to solder since after you cut the strip you’ll still actually have little solder pads. 144’s don’t have extra solder pads between the pixels, so you have to remove a pixel to get pads.
Just need a smaller dog to use less battery
