I use the same ws2801 and everything works ok here.
How do you wire the power on your strips ?
You need a separated 5v input , using 4x32 leds strips, you should have a 7Amp PSU ( each strip can eat 1.8A when full bright ). Do not use arduino 5V output, it only handles 500ma max.
According to the specs on sparkfun, you should only chain 2 strips max for the power.
I think that 2strips per max is that the circuitboard can only handle 2 meters on one board, but i'm E-Mailing them though to confirm.

Quote:do you have the boblight debug log turned on? could you post it?Ya let me jump to the HTPC and get the conf file....
Could you post your boblight config?
