Xmas message and lights
Building off of the teddy bear and xmas light projects, I added the LED panel and switch to our xmas tree! This way, friends would be able to leave us a holiday message we could view and turn our xmas lights on/off. Perfect addition to the tree!

Code used: holidayScrollingText
Wiring:
SURE 24X8
pinCS1 = 9
pinCS2 = 8
pinCS3 = 7
pinWR = 5
pinDATA = 6
RELAY
IN = A0
VCC = +5v
GND = GND
Thoughts for next year:
– Socket based so that light switching can be in real-time
– Better live stream capability (with less delay)
– WiFi (CC3200)
– Resolve accent encoding (eg. Maëlle become Malle)
