Hi FastLED Community

I would like to control 20 strips of ws2812 (30 led/ meter ) total of 600 pixels.
I would like to connect each strip to individual pins of Arduino orTeensy board.
All 20 individual strips will have own color data and each strip Will have different animation effect.
So I need 20 pins on the controller.
Please advise

Or can I use CRGBArray and CRGBset to make 20 CRGBset and make animation ( in this case chip will be APA102 )

Please advise which is easy and better way

Thank you

Use a mega. More didital pins. Use fastled library. They have a example

The Teensy 3.2 also has a good number of pins if you count the additional 10 digital pins you can solder to on the bottom of the board.

@marmil
In Teensy 3.2 is it possible to use 20 pins for 20 ws2812 strips?
Could you please advise which pins can be used for that.
Thank you

Any of the digital pins should be able to be used.

Personally I’d use APA102s with a teensy and CRGBArray…
I’d split the LEDs into four sections for reliability and use the teensy SPI hack to drive them.
