LED Full Spectrum Controller based on Mega2560 board

I have a Question please dude
If you wanted to run say a small sting of blues for moon light is this possible
As when you Buy Led drivers you get 350 700 and 1000
can the drivers be changed to suite this or do you have to but the LEDs to match the drive
Hope this makes sense been looking at doing LEDs For 18 months now and still do not fully 100% understand it all. But Love the challenge and i do like the design of yours
Is the code easy to play with.
Thanks again

If you are thinking of getting the TLC5940 ... don't. The better board to go with is the PCA9685. It's I2C so it won't interupt your cycles on the cpu. It has it's own timer.
v2.02 software:

Now each timer has seconds.
Each channel controlled by 16 timers.

Update.
-------------
Shortly about this device:
- 8 fully controlled LED dimmable channels: sun/sunset/clouds/lightning storm modes.
- Controlled 8 power lines
- For each power line 16 timers
- Each timer with second's precision
- Support 4 overflow sensors
- Temperature control
- PH control
- ORP control
From the back pannel:
HDMI connector - for LED drivers
USB 3.0 connector - for temperature sensor and overflow sensors
BNC - one for PH another for ORP probe
From video the system in a cloud mode, i.e. each channel slowly fading, it looks pretty cool: controller changes color randomly (I love this function).

Hi Kapelan i really like your controller where i can find the wiring/operating instructions, i.e pin outs for led channels etc. I was also wondering if it can be adapted to be used with meanwell LDD drivers as i have these already.
I was going to use the Stilo 3.0 but after months of frustration with coding /compiling errors (newby to Arduino) i got the code to compile but my display keeps refreshing every 2 seconds and i can,t solve it despite following posts with the same problems i finally gave up on it.
Your upload worked straight away and is displaying on my screen, but i cant find the operation/wiring instructions.
Thank you.
