Does anyone here have experience driving serial LED arrays?

I'm fairly confident in the mechanical construction, less so on the coding.

Okay so the overall plan here is to vacu-form a fox mask out of translucent plastic, then glue a bunch of addressable LEDs to the inside of the mask and drive 'em with a microcontroller.

First step is probably making sure the vac forming works out? Need to pick a plastic. Want something thermoformable, translucent, a little bit flexible, and able to be glued to with silicone or hot glue.

Maybe polystyrene?

@mawr don't praise me until I actually do the thing :)
