Receive Text via UART and show it on a matrix display

Hi,

I am new with WLED but it really looks great to control LEDs easily.

There is a basic questiuon regaring the use of WLED.

I have a sports timing device that provides the current run time of a competitor via UART.

Is it possible using a matrix display and a ESP32 to connect the timing devioce and use it as a timing display to show the timing information. I understand that there might be a format issue but the question is if it works at all.

The display woks in a way that the time runs, while the competitor is in the course and after crossing the finish line the final time is displayed.

Thanks for your help in advance
