#WLED #0.14.0_b1 #matrix #text #scrollingtext
With the 0.14.0_b1 release, WLED finally supports 2D matrices / matrixes. This release adds support and a lot of canned patterns to be used on a 2 dimensional matrix.

One of the questions I've seen in the chats has been requests to modify the scrolling text pattern beyond just a time and date.

Love this community! Shout out to @rosscastona7809 and @PumpumRocker for the quick comments. @rosscastona7809 pointed out you don't need to modify code to change text. If you edit the name of your matrix segment, scrolling text will use that instead! It's a 32 char limit, but no code changes.
@PumpumRocker points out how you can "Fake out" WLED and just create extra panels that behave like single strands. I'll pin both comments below.

Hope this provides that extra bit of flexibility while a more permanent change is probably in the pipes!
