This is a simple project for driving a strip of serial LEDs with an esp8826 using the Adafruit_GFX library.

Modules used:

FastLED fork with DMA for esp8266 to drive the LEDs
FastLED_NeoMatrix to map the LEDs onto a grid
Adafruit-GFX for graphic operations on the grid (draw shapes, text, etc)

Building

run ./prepare.sh to set up submodules and toolchain (only needed once)
run make upload to build the project and flash the esp8826

This project will simply connect to the WiFi network specified in main.ino and display the IP address it got once it's connected.
