    LED strip length on Teensy 3.1

    Thanks for sharing your experiences, tetsuo. i think we're going to have to isolate signal + power- in theatres such things can be tricky with so many wires from lighting, sound, stage power, etc everywhere. So 4AWG cabling at 14 feet was your solution for power- from what kind of power source...

    LED strip length on Teensy 3.1

    Paul: the LED strips are intended to be modular and placed in architecturally-interesting ways around the stage- this means that each strip could at maximum, potentially be 20 feet from the Teensy. What is a 'Long Distance' in laymans terms? In the above diagram, I was suggesting that they be...

    LED strip length on Teensy 3.1

    Sorry about that. There are a bunch of different extenders available and we're still figuring it all out. Here's one I was looking at: Edit: scratch that. this one looks more legit: http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/USB-Ultimate-Extender-over-UTP-4-Port/IC400A

    LED strip length on Teensy 3.1

    No worries. If I go the route where I'm splitting out the signal 4 ways from each teensy by sticking the teensy's not too far from the strips, the theoretical framerate looks ok. 250 pixels per pinout is looking at ~132 fps. And, if I can get my hands on that adapter board Paul is suggesting...

    LED strip length on Teensy 3.1

    Paul: that sounds pretty great- I think what you're proposing is rather than have simply 8 pin-outs on the teensy for signal output to LEDs, it's just 2 ethernet jacks. that's awesome. I want that. When I used some LED curtain (made in china) on the road a couple years ago, I could...

    LED strip length on Teensy 3.1

    Hey there! I'm considering building a large LED setup for stage use for video. I was hoping to sit a computer near the teensy 3.1's, and just running signal + power to the stage. What's the maximum number of LED strips that I could place on a single line where I could safely achieve realtime...
