Could .show() be used on a 'render' thread/process

[timkoers]

I am trying to run the .show() function from a different process to make the tcp server continue to process streaming data.

Is there any way you could think of that I could render the WS2812 and put new data in at "the same time."?
Ofcourse with locking the strip object when showing or changing data.

The library is not thread safe. Since the locking mechanism is really specific to the application and its needs, it's left to the user to implement. Unfortunately, double buffering is also something that this library doesn't do, but this seems like something that could be added in the core library to avoid copying. Maybe something along the lines of passing a array pointer to the show command for processing.
