I'm working on a RGB led matrix using led pixel strands. The goal is something much like http://www.instructables.com/id/PixelBrite/
as of right now, my major problem is that i seem to have bought several led strands based on the WS2811 chip and the ones used in the pixelbrite are based on WS2801 drivers. the only real difference is the 811's use a 3 wire setup (5v, signal, ground) and the 801's use 4 wires (add a clock wire). i may be wrong but it seems the 811's have the clock and data lines combined somehow. i got my setup working but using the adafruit neopixels example and library. i would like it working off the pixelbrite code because the adafruit code is for a line of leds whereas i have mine set in a 8x16 matrix.
is it possible to combine the pixelbrite library with the needed aspects of the adafruit library so that the pixelbrite code works for the WS2811 drivers. hope that all makes sense, any insight or help would be greatly appreciated
