Reference - FastLED Parallel Strips on ESP32

For a future build of https://kinopio.club/phase-lights-2023---firefly-2023-plan-ZoDKvt3Kq-SJT6ulRL6S4 we plan to control more than one LED "trail" from the host controllers
We have 6 of the Heltec Wireless Stick Lite LoRa ESP boards. These seem to have loaded up a lot of the ESP32 pins, which is one reason I started researching virtual pin multiplexing

## ICs needed
74HC595 : this is an 8 bit shift register (you will need one 74HC595 for each Virtual pin)
Reality in some cases could fall an order of magnitude (or more) below this.

It takes time to process each “frame” of animation.
If you are using RGB led type then this library is fully compatible with fastLED library objects
