I use Vixen 3 (http://www.vixenlights.com/) to create the light sequences, then exported them as Falcon Player Sequence to a Raspberry Pi 4 running Falcon Pi Player, FPP (https://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,9372.0.html). The RPi is connected via USB/Serial to a Teensy 3.2 with a OctoWS2811 adapter (https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32.html and https://www.pjrc.com/store/octo28_adaptor.html) running the code (https://github.com/ShadowLight8/fpp-to-teensy-serial-ws2813) plus using the OctoWS2811 library. Ethernet / Cat6 wire went to the WS2813 LED Pixels. This year I was able to push the frame rate faster, from 25ms (40fps) to 17ms (~60fps).
