Since the strip I had laying around was 'outdoor silicone sleeve' type, it had no adhesive backing. Then I layed out a quick second page showing the length and the angles for each bar so that I could laser etch it onto the circle as a guide. Since I set up my page at 1:1 scale in CorelDraw I measured the length of each LED bar before it met the circle and took note of that. By following the circumference of these circles, I adjusted the prospective LED bar positioning until I felt that it looked nice. When I get stuck for an aesthetically pleasing pattern I often end up dropping in circles as guides. The next iteration looked a bit too much like the New Mexico flag so that was also scrapped. The first design ended up looking like a clock with the bars spaced uniformly, so I scrapped that and starting rotating them around. I'd already decided a 4' circle would make a pretty nice screen size and fit on the back wall above the DJ, so I fired up CorelDraw and starting laying in approximately 1 meter spikes coming off of it. Since the controller had 16 outputs, this would be enough strip to do somewhere around a meter on each header. Digging through the reels of addressable strip I found a few spools of WS2811 strip with a 60px/m spacing.
