Use dual core CPU for LED Matrix #56

Open kierenblack opened 2 months ago

kierenblack commented 2 months ago

Attempt to use a dual core microcontroller (ESP32) to handle serial interrupt while sending data to the matrix.

The issue currently is that using a single core Arduino, when it starts receiving serial data, the Arduino has issue keeping up with displaying text and it often jitters.

The plan would be to use one core of an ESP32 to handle the matrix output and the other core to handle the Serial data.
