I have a 3rd party board I'm using (4duino) based on the Leonardo. It uses the TX and RX pins for it's built in LCD. It also has a built in ESP8266 that is connected to pins 8 and 9. In order to get the wifi working I am using SoftwareSerial library. I'm able to connect with their code no problem to the wifi. Now I'm trying to integrate your E131 library into my code and I'm a bit confused how to bring them all together.
I see that the wifi code is integrated into the library and I'm a unsure of what to change to get it to point to the SoftwareSerial port instead. Is this possible to do?

The libraries are designed to work directly with the network hardware. In order to process the incoming E131 data in a timely manner, it would best to do the heavy lifting on the ESP8266 and then feed a stream of DMX data out of the ESP to the rest of your system. I have an asynchronous version of this library written specifically for the ESP8266 here - https://github.com/forkineye/ESPAsyncE131.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
