SmartLED Shield for Teensy 4 FastLED Benchmark
/*
* Modified example copied from FastLED 3.0 Branch - originally written by Daniel Garcia
* This example shows how to use some of FastLED's functions with the SmartMatrix Library
* using the SmartMatrix buffers directly instead of FastLED's buffers.
* FastLED's dithering and color balance features can't be used this way, but SmartMatrix can draw in
* 36-bit color and so dithering may not provide much advantage.
*
* This example requires FastLED 3.0 or higher. If you are having trouble compiling, see
* the troubleshooting instructions here:
* https://github.com/pixelmatix/SmartMatrix/#external-libraries
