My mini stage experiments: Chasing Stars

So i've been building a wireless lighting system and throughput benchmarking went a out of hand.
To the point where i ended up having a kind of modular stage building set, on which i can glue LEDs and run a show inspired by favorite (not mine) tracks.

Vixen pushes out Renard protocol to NRF52840 MCU enumerated as USB CDC, which sends channel data over it's proprietary radio stack to another NRF52840, and then to 127 WS2812 LEDs glued to props.
 
I show that the NRF52840 allows you to use a user-proprietary 2.4GHz protocol; not Nordic-proprietary. Which is good, security-wise.

If this can be done for a Nordic, then the same thing could probably be done for an Arduino with RFM69, and achieve much longer ranges at 315MHz.
