Can someone answer a few questions for me? I recently received my teensy 4.1 with the added ethernet kit a few months ago to use on my holiday display.
1) How do I incorporate sACN Compatability in the code for teensy to receive pixel data via the attached w5500(J1B1211CCD)? The software I was planning to use is Vixen.
2) Now I understand the teensy 4.1 is supposed to be able to control a large number of pixels, but I hear a lot of talk about using that across all the supplied pins the board has. What if I wanted to control upwards of 1800 pixels on one pin in one long stretch of ws2815s? Is there a limitation to that number, and is that why there is talk of utilizing all the other pins? I know there is the octoboard which is where the OctoWs2811 library comes into play.
The plan in summary:
Play a vixen sequence on my pc in a bedroom, send data via ethernet port by cat5e cable to a switch, switch back out over another cable to teensy/ethernet adapter combo, teensy < than 1m to those 1800 pixels with power supplies at beginnings of all the strips.
Eventually though, I would like to add more pins to control strings close by the teensy. But idk how much wire distance I can get between the teensy and strips assuming it needs to be short.
