Very cool! Are the LEDs wired in series or with a multiplexer(s)?

As a hint for anyone else using this code, I couldn't get mine to work for a while as my XY function was of type uint8_t. Eventually I spotted this, changed it to uint16_t and all works fine. This also works fine without the SmartMatrix stuff.

Are any changes needed to use the current version of FastLED (3.5.0)?
