    I made a lamp driver to drive 64 individual RGB ws2803's (im using the fast pinball ones). It has its own mcu + ram that you dump patterns onto and just send like 2 byte messages over serial (rs485) to do like, PLAY PATTERN1, which might be a fan etc.

    I'm using individual instead of serial so I dont need to worry about chained LED's breaking down in the chain.

    my driver board only sends data to the WS2803, voltage is external so I dont have to worry about current draw through the board itself.
