I have looked around at developmen boards that I can get in Australia. How does this one sound? will it be able to handle 4 X 7 seg WS2812B Led Arrays? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Microchip-PIC18F4550-5V-SBC-PIC-Developmet-Board-USB-SBC44UC-Fast-Ship-SYDNEY/281390683302?hash=item41843114a6:g:HjQAAOSwq7JTzFcG&frcectupt=true#

@Bed I was going to use shift registers and LEDs, but this looks way cooler and lots of extra tricks that would make it look even better.

Would something like this 16 bit board be enough for a controller board? : Microchip PIC24F Curiosity Development Board 16-bit Marz.

@Annobium I realy havent a clue. I havent used these faster chips. I came from the Picaxe world. Do you have any suggestions? Marz.

Aannobium. Development board or the like? Marz.

@ Anobium Thanks for the fast reply. I probably wasnt clear in my post. I didnt want to use the arduino code, just pinch the hardware and build the code completely with GCB. I gather a 32 bit dev board or similar would be the go? Any ideas of what would be best (and probably easiest ) to use? I have the leds on order and have written the program to cut out the acrylic while I wait for what I need to arrive. Great demo on youtube by the way... Marz.

Hi all. I have a new project in mind. After some research I see it can be done with arduino, But I would prefer trying to do it with GCB. It is a topical project with the Ninja franchise being so popular, although I want to use it for dog agility, with wireless triggers.
