I thought this project might be of interest to FastLED. The Spark Electron kickstarter project brings Arduino and cellular data together. I think this could help with distance synchronization of lights and remote location programming of fixed systems. Enjoy!

Going back and forth on backing that one, it does appear to be the same arm core that’s in the spark core, so FastLED supports it.
