I too will experiment with this route for my client's project. Sounds fascinating, and lots of support out there for existing Arduinos. Bought myself a Mega 2560 and a short strip of these RGB LED modules.
Going to try this guy's code, he seems happy and lots of google searching proves it should work:

As for your helmet, wow sorry it won't fit. You could sell it as is with the working LEDs for an astronomical sum on ebay, since I doubt you want to undolder all that crazy stuff you did before.
Thanks for keeping ahead of the technology. And congrats on your magical smoke adventure, no good hobbyist should be without one under his/her belt (I fried a diode this weekend, that was exciting).
As for your troubles with baud rate on your I2C: well, I2C is pretty sucky as an interface, its a 2 wire serial that is very prone to noise. And is pretty slow by design. 400K is pretty zippy for I2C, so it makes sense to me 100K worked better for you. For my experiments, I'm going SPI, it can at least run in the MHZ range without much trouble.
How's it going?
I was thinking, when you resize it, maybe you should square off the chin on the helmet to make it more accurate
Hey! Haven't checked in in a while. How's it going?
This is a very Impressive Project. Kudos Sir!
