Hello everyone
I managed to create a light show with the software last year on the Disney theme, but now I will want to integrate WS2801 type addressable LEDs into this show.
How can I do it? rather use Arduino or Raspberry Pi and if someone had a little tutorial it would be cool.
thank you

I recommend WLED firmware for starters. Very easy. It supports artnet, e131, and other protocols.

There's a lot of info out there on how to wire up the controllers and there are also sources for preassembled units.

As far as integrating with QLC+, you can leverage rgb panel / rgb matrix features out of the box.
