Hi, trying to get this setup working properly. I think there’s something wrong with the mapping. This could be the code that’s not right: http://www.pastebin.com/NE7QXu3w
What should be the matrix type for this?

Thanks.

Looks like a spiral matrix? I think you’ll want to treat it as a non serpentine, and you’ll want to make sure each row has the same number of LEDs.

Yes it is a spiral matrix. So what would I need to do to that code to make it suit this setup? Looks like i’m going to have to re-arrange the strip too. Needs to be more of a coil rather than a spiral I guess.

This example shows you how to map a spiral cylinder https://github.com/plan44/messagetorch/blob/master/README.md

Thank you Charity. I’m not very experienced at coding so it’s a bit difficult for me. I guess that the important bit is the number of windings section? I’m using arduino so I would have to adapt for that. Times like this I need a knowledge upload, Matrix style!
