Hi, I'm doing some research into a project. I want to create a 3-5 foot ticker that shows sports scores (scrolling like a stock ticker). So far I found the NeoPixelBus library (
https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus) but I don't see how you can output text to a matrix for pixels. Is there a library on top of NeoPixelBus that already solves this?

This advanced project integrates the Adafruit_GFX library (scrolling text, etc.) with NeoPixelBus. It has MANY other features.

Thanks, this looks helpful. Although looking at the documentation it appears to do a lot more than I actually need, need to see how easy it is to tease it apart.
