Guys I will be updating the walk through

I have cut the arduino out as the middle man and am now using JUST the pi
with xbian and hyperion

and may i say it is freaking impressive

refresh rate of LEDS is epic
i can talk to them at a baud of 500,000 rather than 115200 that i was limited to on arduino (not sure if it matters but the refresh rate / shift rate when wired direct to the pi is AMAZING)

i will be posting wiring instructions / install instructions soon
