Hey Guys
I'm working quite some time on my Huge Pixel Matrix Project called PixelInvaders (http://http://Pixelinvaders.ch). The Software PixelController is available on Github (http://https://github.com/neophob/PixelController).
The core of the Software is written in Java (and Processing), the frontend is written in Pure Data, thus I can use the OSC protocol. I just uploaded a new Video which shows my Android Tabled and the PixelInvaders Matrix in Action:

Very cool! I made a simple red 5x5 LED matrix that pulls user-submitted animations from the web. You totally have the next step with RGB, way more pixels, and killer software. Well done sir :)

That is a very awesome website, software, and hardware!
It doesn't seem that you wrote what led's you use specifically, may you tell us? :P

Hey hak8or
Thanks, the modules are lpd6803 based, each module has 3 smd rgb led "onboard" and I sell them at http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=208 (http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=208) if you're interested ;)
do you need more information?
cheers

Edit: I just created a shopy entry with more details: http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=390 (http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=390)

Hey guys
I'm updating my PixelController software and did some major updates like an integrated GUI, Color Sets etc. Take a look at the Screenshot, the code is on GitHub.
I hope you find it useful!

Cool looking software! I'll try it with my way less impressive daft punk wall thing.

Would this software work well with the following RGB LED strips?

Is there any guides out there to help me along the way, this looks like an amazing project.
Thanks.

Those Strips should work when using a Raspberry Pi and PixelPi (https://github.com/scottjgibson/PixelPi (https://github.com/scottjgibson/PixelPi)), however I never worked with those.
<shameless advertising>
You could also use some LPD6803 based LED Modules together with your Arduino/Teensy board here http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=390 (http://pixelinvaders.ch/?page_id=390)
</shameless advertising>
And btw, I just uploaded the v1.3.0 Beta 5 release (latest Beta Release), contains some fixes and more device support.

After PixelController Beta 18 I finally released the final version. I even created a short rough cut video that will show you, what PixelController does.

Hey Guys
I'll release PixelController v1.31 soon, fancy new features:
-Wireless PixelInvaders Panels (using ser2net and a RPI)
-OSC Generator: use Processing (or any tool you like) to send images to PixelController. I included some examples how to use a MS Kinect and how to stream live video feed from your Android phone to the PixelController software.
Take a look at the Rough Cut Video #2, featuring two PixelInvaders panels
