Title: Vixen 3.0, Arduino Mega 2560 and WS2811 LED Strips
Post by: gpoduska on January 02, 2014,

Hi,

I am excited to get things going for next year!  Hi will be using Vixen 3.0 with Nutcracker creations sent via serial to an Arduino Mega 2560 that has the FastSPI_LED2 library loaded.  This will drive 15 meters of WS2811 strips with 30/M LEDs.  This vertical matrix will then be positioned like a xmas tree 180 degrees....  see diagram.  My only concern is power.  Does this archtiecture look legit?

The only issues that I see are that your ajoining strips will be in reverse order from eachother and that you may need to add some power injection with that large of a load.
