Mote pHAT or Mote USB? The latter has firmware that limits the number of pixels per channel, so you wont be able to drive much more than a single stick per channel. (if I remember correctly it may be a hard limit of 32 or 64 pixels per channel)

If you’re connecting longer strips, then Mote pHAT is probably more a hindrance than a help but it’s at least possible to edit the software to drive more pixels.

Bear in mind that more pixels need more power, and depending on how many you plan to use you may have to feed additional power into the strip somehow.

See the mote.configure_channel lines here; https://github.com/pimoroni/mote-phat/blob/master/examples/rainbow.py

You’d need something like mote.configure_channel(1, 32, False)
