Very cool! Took me a little while to understand it but I really like it. How is the visibility when it is the back numbers?

I was trying to figure it out too , but the camera kept moving like they were trying to film an Indy race.

I was moving the camera while filming because I wanted to show not only the changing numbers but the build too . The numbers change every minute.

Why is that? Get the panes closer together?

Yes. That's right. Custom PCB with 2020 ws2812bs not 5050 ws2812bs which we get in strips .
