Seth 038905fe51 Reduce flicker by increasing display refresh interval
- Changed from 1-second full screen clear to 2-second redraws
- Data fetches happen every 0.5 seconds for responsiveness
- Reduces unnecessary screen clearing that was causing ASCII art to flicker
- Keeps display stable and readable while still updating status in real-time
- Deployed and verified on Pi
