As you know, pimps are generally ahead of the curve. OG pimp Noxorc created something similar about 3 years ago. Do a search for "noxbox". Unfortunately, all the old links are broken, but I believe he basically added a serial interface to a standard bit controller and wrote some simple software to control it.

OMG. That is too cool.

I remember about 25 years ago playing with a little electric dog that followed a crayon drawn line. His tongue would bob up and down and his
tail would wag as he went.
