Apologies I know the last thing you need is 'support-type' queries but I've been using your script with 16 matrix and it's brilliant. Very reliable and useful in Home Assistant.
I use the LEFT SCROLL to scroll RSS messages. Yes I know! Very old fashioned and quaint.
I find there is a character restriction when sending text0 into the scrolling animation. It looks like 64 chars and if I send more than this I get instability. Mostly the wemos will reboot.
I'm happy to put this to a more scientific test, but do you know if this is an mqtt message restriction or a type restriction in the code?
Does anyone know how to overcome this and get more chars into the scrolling buffer?
Also, I'm really interested in adding web-config to make it act as an iot device. ie put up an AP to get home wifi, mqtt server, and display length. I'd be happy to try this myself with a fork of your code. As that might be quite a hefty change, I just wondered if you had tried it or had any plans to add it?
