* updated color scaling to preserve hue at low brightness resulting in much better colors
* replace NPBlg with NPB, moved brightness scaling to bus manager
* improved gamma table calculation: fixed mismatch in inverting gamma table calculation: inversion should now be as good as it gets
* code cleanup, fixed gamma being applied in unnecessary places
Improvements to ABL handling:
- removed strip level handling, ist now all done on bus level
- limiter now respects pixel mapping
- proper handling of white channel
- improved current estimation
- current is now always correctly reported to UI
- minimal FPS impact if the ABL is not limiting but slighly higher impact for global ABL limit due to double-scaling
- moved brightness scaling to BusDigital
- created new header file colors.h to be able to access color functions in bus-manager.
- updated colo_fade() with better video scaling to preserve hue's at low brightness
- added IRAM_ATTR to color_fade (negligible speed impact when compared to inline and benefits other functions)
- added IRAM_ATTR to color_blend as it is used a lot throughout the code, did not test speed impact but adding it to color_fade made it almost on-par with an inlined function
Additional changes:
- fixes for properly handling `scaledBri()` (by @blazoncek)
- also use bit-shift instead of division in blending for ESP8266
- improvements for faster "softlight" calculation in blending
- changed some variables to uint8_t to maybe let the compiler optimize better, uint8_t can be faster if read, store and set are all done in uint8_t, which is the case in the ones I changed
- various minor code formatting changes
this new hooks will help you implement new and custom protocols in
usermods.
I've provided an example (see usermods/udp_name_sync).
The example will help you share the main segment name across different
WLED instances.
The segment name can be useful to sync with some effects like GIF
image or scrolling text.
If you define new packet format in your usermod, make sure it will
either not collide with already used version of wled udp packet :
- 0 is for udp sync
- 1 is for AudioReactive data
- 2 is for udp_name_sync :)
Also, the onUdpPacket will override "parseNotification" if it returns "true".
Have fun!
* add support for up to 10 ESPNow remotes
* removed debug line
* changed todo comment
* fixed some issues, shortened html/java code
- reverting name to `linked_remote`
- ESPNow remote list is now hidden if unchecked
- shortened java script function names and variables to save flash
- removed now obsolete settings in xml.cpp
- correct checking of valid hex string for remote list in java script
* fixed indentation, using emplace_back instead of push_back, using JsonVariant, replaced buttons with +/-
* shortened java code
* updated java code, fixed bug
- element is now properly removed
- `+` button is hidden if list is full
- user needs to remove a remote, then reload the page to add it (workaround for edge case that needs more code to handle otherwise)
* add limit
* clearer usage description
- Photoshop-style segment/layer blending
- return of strip ABL
- remove global LED buffer in favour of segment-local buffer
- new effect blending modes/transitions
- custom palettes moved out of WS2812FX class
- increased limits (matrix size, LED RAM)
- added "rainbow"-mode colorwheel
- replaced palettes with gamma unmodified ones
- move gamma adjustment to last step before sending to LEDs
- Segment & WS2812FX class reorganisation (mutable members, reordered members, protected members)
* changed some parameters to "pointer to const", so compiler can better optimize code size and performance - because data behind a const pointer will never be modified by the called function.
* made setPixelColor `const`
* fixed a few potentially uninitialized local vars (the may have random values if not initialized)
* avoid shadowing "state" in handleSerial()
* plus a few very minor improvements
- removing WS2812FX::setMode()
- removing WS2812FX::setColor()
- removing floating point in transition
- color handling modification in set.cpp
- replaced uint8_t with unsigned in function parameters
- inlined WS2812FX::isUpdating()
- (MAY BE BREAKING) alexa & smartnest update
- transitions always enabled (use delay 0 to disable)
- optimisation in on/off fade
- fix for palette/color blend when blending style is not fade
- various tweaks and optimisations
Remove sync receive
Disallow 2D effects on non-2D segments
Optimisations
Sync clarification
AR palettes
Return of 2 audio simulations
Bugfix in sync #3344
- remove excessive segments
- ignore inactive segments if not syncing bounds
- send UDP/WS on segment change
- pop_back() when removing last segment
Add pairing support for ESP-NOW sync
Reduce string RAM footprint
UDP parse optimisation
Make WizMote work with sync.
ESP-NOW wireless sync POC.
- caveat: devices have to be on the same channel
- clashes with WizMote handling ATM
