Row,column: On start you will see row,column descriptions show in bottom left. Example with default configuration.sh:
panels when viwed from front [ 0,0] [ 0,1] [ 0,2] [ 0,3] [ 0,4] [ 0,5] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] <-- [ rpi ]
panels when viewed from back [ 0,0] [ 0,1] [ 0,2] [ 0,3] [ 0,4] [ 0,5] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ rpi ] --> [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
cables when viewed from back: i : in port o : out port ^ : ⮠ symbol v : ⮦ symbol * : power .-----------. .-----------. . -----------.

- Panel 6 first to pi (pi therefor on right,bottom when viewed from front (default) MATRIXARGS=--led-rows 32 --led-cols 64 --led-pixel-mapper="S-Mapper;Rotate:90" --led-chain=6
- Panel 0 first to pi (pi therefor on left, top?)

Jitter on brightness. RPi2 with image 2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch-lite.zip
has significantly less jitter than RPi3 with image 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch-lite.zip

This is even after isolating user apps to 3 cores, disabling bluetooth, etc.
The fake Heart to OSC emulator works for demo purposes but could use improvements. I was working on trying to change it so that higher HR produces a higher range of amplitude on the brightness. Also at the moment the HR brightness modulation only works in the counter.
HDMI or VGA input. We tried USB configurations which kinda work with only slightly reduced quality (samples instagram) but causes entire system to crash often after 5 minutes of use. Started working on integrating the avid hdmi to camera port attachment but currently wasn't getting any valid image.
In the future would like to see resolutions for
- brightness modulation with 100% brightness.
- setup bluetooth HR
- hdmi input
- fadein/out media
