Hello there!

I am stuck with a problem. I have a line of 625 nodes with WS2801 Chips.

My plan is to convert a videocapture or similar to SPI data using Processing, then shift them out as RGB Data for the Nodes using an Arduino.

Is that possible in the first place?

The Datasheet ( http://dhsdz.com/upload/file/1258863693.pdf) states that the data for the Chips must be pure serial.

How could i convert a Capture into 625 pixels with their corresponding RGB 8bit Grayvalues and send them via SPI?

Thank you in advance
