Description

Would be nice to provide example code for how to make the display cycle through text without requiring a computer.

Should be fairly straightforward, and a great opportunity for someone to get involved in the project. Basically need an array of strings and then the code just needs to wait until all modules are idle before starting a timer that will advance to the next string.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the existing Arduino display code and its handling of module-idle state, then use the issue’s array-and-timer behavior as the acceptance criteria. Done means a standalone example cycles through text without requiring a computer.
