Interface to display information
- Via HTTP Upload 144x24 bit monochrome (animated) gifs see the content display on the display.
An example to send the test1.gif file with via curl.
$ curl -H "Content-Type: image/gif" --data-binary @images/test1.gif http://<device-ip> --verbose

How it works
ESP32 <-> Arduino <-> Led-pannel
- ESP 32 has simple a HTTP server that receives and decodes the GIFs send to it as images.
- Via the UART ports the ESP32 sends the decoded gif frame as images to the Arudino.
- Once the Arduino has received the whole image, it transforms it into the leddisplay's format and will start refreshing that image into the led display while receiving the next image.
- To indicate the start of a new frame the ESP will pull a pin of the Arduino high. On the Low-edge, a new image is being send.
The led-panel has a 20V DC input, reducing it to the 5v we need for the Arduino and ESP, we use a small power switcher board.
