Hi Guys,
Been a bit of a lurker on this site and thought I should join up and join in the fun. I have a question in regards to controlling RGB Strips on an Arduino. Do I have to have them all connected to one output on the Arduino when I am controlling through Vixen 3? Most of the sketches I have only control one output of the Arduino. Does anyone have an example of a sketch with multiple outputs or do I have to connect my data from the OUT of one strip and into the IN of another strip and treat it all as one long string.
For context I am doing a display which is 3 mini houses about 7 ft high with RGB strips all across them, it represents about 2000 pixels but all the strips are small, ie from side of the house to the window, then from the window to the door etc and want to control each strip individually. I am trying to run about 9 Arduinos in total as Arduinos only handle 300 pixels.
Thanks
