Oops, I gave my strips a pitch of 2.54mm and these LED strips are 3mm pitch. It's manageable, but I need a quick way to adjust that in the KiCad model. Reminding myself to quadruple-check the polarity of these strips before turning on the iron.....

I remember these being easier to lay out in elementary school 😅 Anyway, good thing I didn't solder any more joints because I realize now I should have the data flowing in the opposite direction. Got to reverse all the strips now.
