Thanks for the input so far.
402 is a weird number. I came to 402 (804 total) when I tested a lighting angle to get the shadows on my table. The table is 20 feet long and by adding an extra foot on each end to curve down and point the lights back toward the table. I may end up with a few more LEDs as I never measure anything correctly the first or fifth time. Which begs the question, what is the programmable limit of LEDs on this pico? Each LED strip will have its own power supply, I just need the commands to be transmitted to both strips.
I may end up lighting chunks of lights instead of individual lights. I like the idea of starting small at first and then going for the massive undertaking of programming all 400+ lights. I'm aiming for maximum subtlety and hope to have a light turn off/on every second or less. Ideally 0.56 seconds.
There are indeed tables for day light values throughout the day. With CCT LEDs those are great but I'm not going to fork out the money for those. There are also tables that give RGB values for twilight that I will reference.
Is this the correct logic buffer chip here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1787
