I noticed with the ESPixelstick FW the first 2 outputs are UARTs, and the next xx number are configured as RMT.
Is there any real difference here? I couldn't find anything meaningful on Google.
For doing some quick testing with a strand of lights (no output buffers connected or anything) and the Pixelstick output set to the rainbow pattern, I noticed when the IO pin was configured as one of the RMT outputs a lot of flicker on the lights, and when configured as a UART the rainbow test pattern was rock solid. I haven't had a chance to hook up a output buffer but was surprised by the difference and hoping that goes away... Also, any reason why the code isn't using the 3rd UART on the ESP32?
