Hi Jeremy,
I’ve been playing with Spark for a bit now…I’ve written a UDP server and a WS2801 controller so that I can send it a UDP packet from anywhere on the network to drive the lights. Its fast enough that I can drive animations to a network attached RGB LED strip by sending a packet every 50ms from a python script. Would be great for sending content to the gameframe (including animations) over the network.
I also wrote an iTunes plugin to drive the lights…led strip flashing to the music! Would also be fun to build music-driven visualizations for the gameframe..if you want to play with it I can send you the source.
