This code is responsible for controlling the motors and LEDs based on Bluetooth input, as well as managing the display of running text on the OLED screen. The code includes setup for the OLED display and motor control pins, and the main loop handles Bluetooth communication and motor/LED control logic. The running text feature alternates between two strings, with one scrolling across the display and the other displayed statically in the center.
