Assuming it continues to be serpentine from one panel to another, you don’t need to do anything more than tell it the display is 6x12…
But to explicitly define it, you can do things like this:
Dual 6x6 as colum
"layout": {
"typename": "matrix",
"width": 24,
"height": 24,
"serpentine": true,
"brightness": 128,
"gen_coord_map": [{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
},
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
}
]
}
Dual 6x6 as row
"layout": {
"typename": "matrix",
"width": 24,
"height": 24,
"serpentine": true,
"brightness": 128,
"gen_coord_map": [
[
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
},
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
}
]
]
}
Basically give gen_coord_map a list. Each entry in that list is a row. If that entry is another list that means it’s a row with multiple columns in it.
This was really meant for when you use multiple drivers as it’s more likely to have weird layouts. But lets say someone made a 12 x 12 out of 4 of your panels. You would have this:
"gen_coord_map": [
[
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
},
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
}
],
[
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
},
{
"dx": 6,
"dy": 6,
"serpentine": false
}
]
]
Note, it’s 2 sub-lists, so that’s 2 rows. And each has 2 entries, so 2 columns each.
You can also include rotation which can be 0, 90, 180, 270 or flip which is just true/false and inverts the Y-axis. Between those you can adjust for any weird layout of your panels.

They’re chained. One driver, 2 panels of 6x6 in serpentine linked via terminal blocks

Ah… Is each panel on it’s own driver or are they chained?

Hi Adam,
Thanks so much for all your help! Currently, we have a 6x6 panel that IS serpentine. However, for our end user (i.e. the people we market the project to) they want to be able to tile these panels in any orientation. So 2 6x6s would be the 12x6, however wouldn’t be straight serpentine

Hello everyone!
Very very new user here, undertaking a project for University trying to build a panel using the AllPixel driver and the BP library.
So far progress has been slow but positive, I’ve been able to create .json files that draw on the library’s animations and successfully run them with other attributes such as colour, speed, delay etc.
Have now decided to step up to matrix level (crazy, I know) but I’m having some issues with the mapping. I’ve noted that most of the info on GitHub seems to be pointing towards python, but I’m hoping to be able to create .json files that have the parameters and then reference the python files that come with the library.
Where in my .json file should I specify the co-ordinate map, and in which format do I do it? I’ve been trying “coords”: [0,1,2],[3,4,5], in the run section, but no avail
Thanks for any help, I feel this post may be the first of many!
Adam
