By changing the delay between searches, I realized that the ideal delay is actually the default found in the library example: 20 seconds. Setting this value lower makes it more likely that the program will retrieve the same tweet repeatedly. On the other hand, I was able to modify the program structure to minimize the delay between LEDs lighting up. Though the device is not working fast, it is at least visually smooth. | By changing the delay between searches, I realized that the ideal delay is actually the default found in the library example: 20 seconds.

In this upgraded version below, the setup is the same, but the code was modified in a way that the jump from one LED to the next happens without delay, though it is still slow (the video is sped up to 2x). | |||

For the next prototype, I want to work with a bigger matrix, and try to make the tweet search smoother and faster. Ideally, I would be able to only issue commands to the microcontroller with the arrival of a new tweet. | |||
