+/* ObjectFLED sample program showing how to use the FastLED built-in ObjectFLED DMA engine,
+without loading ObjectFLED.h.  5 LED strings are configured to show blue-cylon lights and
+display show() framerate based on 20 back-to-back calls. Tested with FastLED 3.9.11 & 3.9.13. 
+
+When using FastLED without ObjectFLED.h,  each string/pin is added seperately in setup(), and 
+show() displays all strings at once.  Strings can be of varying length, but you cannot show 
+strings independently.  Only default waveform timing is used. */

+calls.  Tested with FastLED 3.9.11 & 3.9.13. 
+
+When using FastLED with ObjectFLED.h,  an ordered array of pin numbers is passed to the ObjectFLED
+instance along with the 2D array for all 5 strings, and show() displays all strings at once.
+If strings are of varying length, then the 2D array holds the largest string, and extra data in the 
+array for shorter strings is effectively ignored, even if sent to the string.  
+
+You can optionally define separate 1D arrays for varying size strings with a separate ObjectFLED 
+instance for each string.  With this approach, each string has it's own show(), get/setBrightness(), 
+get/setBalance(), overclock, custom waveform timing, and color order.  */
