/* Interstate 75 - HUB75 from basic principles.
While trying to get our I75 running I soon realised that I couldn't find any documentation or basics on the HUB75 protocol.
Yes there were libraries and tidbits that were seemingly loosely related, but nothing really laying out clear steps to update the 32x32 display on my desk.
So I wrote this.
This code may not be technically correct, but the results are visually appealing and fast enough.
More importantly, the code is legible and doesn't hide any implementation details beneath the inscrutable veneer of PIO.
No interpolators, no DMA, no PIO here- if you want a beautifully optimised library for HUB75 output then this... isn't it.
Just pure C. Pure CPU. Running on RP2040s Core1.
