This is even more excellent.  Thanks Nigel!

And yeah, I was planning on having the spinny bits controlled by the
light board, but as I continued to think about it, for this project, I
could just as easily have it controlled by a stagehand, but I would
prefer a wireless method, as I don't want a cable out on stage, and I
already have some wireless DMX bits, so that's when my brain went to
the PWM controller.
