Looping Addressable LED Strip with Serial Input?

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing
1

I have a project where I will have 3 addressable 5 meeter LED strips (60 LED/Meter), attached on digital pin 1 -3. I want to loop the lights on all 3 strips at the same time but NOT turn on any lights until I receive a command from the serial port.

I want to be able to input from the serial port, which pin and what color to use. At that time, that strand will light the first light and scroll through until it reaches the end.

Does anyone have any examples, similar to this?

It looks like the issue is in the board I am using... I currently have the Uno, which is limited to 32k of memory. I think I need the Duo, which has 512k, to handle the number of lights. Hope that helps anyone else with similar issues.

I found the comparison of the boards here.

I found information on running out of memory here.
