  A 1024 (16x8x8) LED matrix WiFi message board with rotary encoder,
  BME280 sensor and a web interface with new message notification
  by ericBcreator

  It connects to Wifi and a timeserver and then displays date, time,
  sunrise and sunset for a set location, sensors reading of the 
  temperature, humidity and air pressure, current weather and forecasts 
  from openweather.map for multiple cities, top headlines from 
  NewsApi.org, stock data from Alpha Vantage and random Wikipedia items.
  
  A rotary encoder selects between the default display 'carousel',
  one news category, stock or weather data, no messages or it resets 
  the ESP.

  There is web access (enter the IP address of the ESP32 which is 
  displayed at startup in a browser) for displaying custom texts and 
  access to some controls. A buzzer plays a notification sound whenever 
  a new message is received.

LED Matrix board 20181111 shared

Arduino
/*
***************************************************************************
  A 1024 (16x8x8) LED matrix WiFi message board with rotary encoder,
  BME280 sensor and a web interface with new message notification
  by ericBcreator

  It connects to Wifi and a timeserver and then displays date, time,
  sunrise and sunset for a set location, sensors reading of the 
  temperature, humidity and air pressure, current weather and forecasts 
  from openweather.map for multiple cities, top headlines from NewsApi.org 
  and stock data from Alpha Vantage.
  
  A rotary encoder selects between the default display 'carousel',
  one news category, stock or weather data, no messages or it resets 
  the ESP.

  There is web access (enter the IP address of the ESP32 which is displayed
  at startup in a browser) for displaying custom texts and access to 
  some controls. A buzzer plays a notification sound whenever a new message
  is received.
***************************************************************************
  last updated 20181111 by ericBcreator

  components:
  - ESP32
  - 16 x 8x8 MAX7219 LED matrices
  - BME280 sensor
