Conflict with the GPS Library ? #12

Hi,

Trying to use the RGB-matrix-Panel along with the GPS Library there seems to be a conflict.

The following is the simple plasma sketch in which I added the bare minimum for the GPS library and the display (16x32 in my case) fails to display. I am using an Arduino Uno.

Double-buffered animation is amazingly memory-hungry, leaving just a few bytes free on the Uno. Not enough space for the GPS library to coexist. Either disable double-buffering (last parameter to the RGBmatrixPanel constructor), or try an Arduino Mega.
