I got the new version working last night! This is a really boring video 
but it is using the FastSPI RC version. Each WS2801 string is connected to a single controller and receiving data via nRF2401+ transceivers. The Data is broadcast from a single transmitter which is outputting 512 channels (bytes) of data @250kbps. Thanks for this awesome library!
