"as soon as I got the OTA working, 1 of the LED's on the strip failed. I grafted a new one on, and then the battery broke....... "
Sounds rather like how my days tend to go
I'm so pleased it all worked in the end, a huge thanks from us for being so patient and helpful along the way, whthout it we'd have failed to get there for sure.
Have a great weekend.

The Lightstick is 2m of LED Strip from Adafruit - https://www.adafruit.com/products/306
Mounted on an aluminium bar with an old Toolbox handle and a ton of Hot Glue. As you know by now the Mega 2560 runs the show. I did generate some code by hand, but a very clever chap called Phil Wright wrote some code that generates Arduino Code from Bitmaps - http://www.wright-online.com/Drupal/?q=node/3
Add a 2A battery, a few switches to start the strip/reset/power and bobs your uncle. And of course an XRF/XBBO plus the circuit I posted for wireless programming.
You just press a button, start walking and the image is 'painted' - take a few goes to get it right. And the Fireball is two sparklers, and it took 4 people to make that shot - 1 camera (John), 1 lightstick (Barney), 1 to light the sparklers (and direct, me) and finally someone to make the fireball trails (dont know his name yet, but he's a nice chap).
Easy really......
