some users have reported that releases after 0.14.0 are not working reliably. So we add a few "compat" for 8266 that try to reproduce the buildenv of 0.14.0 as much as possible.
* platform and platform_packages from 0.14.0
* not using PIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_MMU_CACHE16_IRAM48
* due to smaller IRAM, we had to move some functions back from IRAM to normal flash (may cause slowdown)
- edit WiFi TX power (ESP32)
- keep current ledmap ID in UI
- limit outputs in UI based on length
- wifi.ap addition to JSON Info
- relay pin init bugfix
- file editor button in UI
- update NeoPixelBus to v2.8.0
- use single/mono I2S + 4x RMT for 5 outputs or less
- use parallel x8 I2S + 8x RMT for >5 outputs (limit of 300 LEDs per output)
* setPixelColor: ensure that 0/0 is used
* getPixelColor: accuracy improvements
unfortunately, "scrolling" audioreactive effects are still not working properly - they end after 1/4 of the circle. Could be due to limited resolution of getPixelColor.
fixing holes that appeared during testing
* at 52x52 (big 296 -> 304)
* at 24x32 (medium 192 -> 208)
* at 12x16 (small 72 -> 82)
... there is still one hole at 14x16 ... well wtf
- several compile warning fixes
- multipin LED compile config
- release info (update page, JSON "info")
- WiFi scan fix if no networks found
- UI glitch when no presets are found fix
With multipin LED config it is now possible to assign GPIO to PWM RGB outputs.
Achieved by having length of DATA_PINS be divisble by lengt of PIXEL_COUNTS.
-changes save roughly 600bytes of flash
-made blurring faster by not writing the color and then reading it back but keeping it as a variable: on a C3, FX black hole goes from 55FPS to 71FPS
-added optional parameter to blur (smear) that can be used in combination with SEGMENT.clear(), blurring the frame without dimming the current frame (repeated calls without clearing will result in white). this is useful to blur without 'motion blurring' being added
-scale8 is inlined and repeated calls uses flash, plus it is slower than native 32bit, so I added 'color_scale' function which is native 32bit and scales 32bit colors (RGBW).
-added fully random palette function ('the old way', currently just used for initialization)
-changed randomness values to make it a little less random
-added 10% chance for pastel color palette
-now using swap() from std library for shuffeling
-changed function name
-moved update check from loadPalette() to handleRandomPalette() saving CPU cycles
