This looks a very interesting project! One thing I couldn't tell though, could you 'stream' LED pixel values over wifi instead of generating them on the hardware?
Using the ws2812b Lights and the:
https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x library,
I made my LEDs pulse out an ID, which I read with a webcam, then used it to make a simple webapp, to 'paint' my Christmas tree's lights.
This year I'm planning on buying some APA102 lights though, and taking it outdoors :) (So i'm looking at the IP68 versions). Ideally I want to create a 3D map of the LEDs this year, but I need to do a lot of reading on that!
