Led strip dot display

[video76]

Hi, looking for the best option to have a led dot display I assume with led strips or maybe those pixel display panels. just want something that’s 22ft wide and a foot ish tall. Just to display scrolling text like people’s birthdays and whatnot. thanks!

it's not the LEDs that'll be the problem it'll be the controller.  you could jerry rig it with something like a raspberry pi and some custom software.  Or you could just google 'Dot Matrix Display' and look at the options there

 

Edit:

 

You'd need an occlusion gate with a diffusion layer over the strips too so the message doesn't all blend in to one blur

I’ve been googling a lot, I think I already got the leds that are individually addressable and only have 1.92mm between each led. It uses a 4 pin data line. Problem is it only goes to 16ft so I’d have to buy extra for the extra side. I’m so lost on what controller I should get to run it and I’m hoping the ui is simple for everybody in the office to be able to input something.

the UI will probably need to be made from scratch.  a little raspberry pi has more than enough CPU power to run a simple API to control addressable RGB.  and there are a few open source ones out there for the task (can't remember what they're called at the moment)  the 'custom' bit of the process will be in the said UI that will take the inputs and turn those in to a format the API controlling the LEDs can understand
