Suggestion: Text Api

Would it be possible to send text to the divoom device ? I know some other devices have implemented it, yet I am aware of how the pixoo is different.

I already tried to use the "DisplayText" method from the base module (https://github.com/RomRider/node-divoom-timebox-evo/). It scrolls the background but does not show any text. Probably not implemented on the display side / has other syntax which is not available in the native app either.

I assume it would be possible to render the text on the sender side in nodejs to generate the same effect as if the device itself does the scrolling as each frame is send by serial anyway.

Ah okay, although from what I found the actual feature is availabe in the native app, it may, as you said, be rendered from the sender side rather than the actual device.
