* 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
* added boot loop detection and config backup
* automatic OTA rollback if loading backup does not fix it
* added new file handling functions
* adding verification of json files, added config restore at bootup if broken
* added function to compare contents of two files for future use (currently not used)
- Bugfixes in FX data allocation: realloc was not handled properly.
- Added *intermediate* fix for waitForIt(), see https://github.com/wled/WLED/issues/4779
- Bugfix in 1D->2D expansions: corner-expansion MUST be boundary checked as it blindly writes the max dimension
- removed some realloc(), improving fragmentation on large setups
- increased min heap constant
- ESP32 C3 has no PSRAM, it now uses default alloc functions
- also added missing UI info for "Error 7"
* Added FX to copy a segment in 1D or 2D
- copies the source segment
- brightness of segment is relative to source segment
- optionally shifts the color hue, saturation and brightness
- invert, transpose, mirror work
- if source or targets do not match in size, smallest size is copied
- unused pixels fade to black (allows overlapping segments)
- if invalid source ID is set, segment just fades to black
- added a rgb2hsv conversion function as the fastled variant is inaccurate and buggy
- 1D to 2D and vice versa are supported
Particle System depends on linear brightness distribution, gamma corrected values are non-linear.
- added invers gamma table
- reversing gamma after brightness distribution makes it linear once again
- 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)
Break the actual JSON assembly apart from the file writing code. This
permits calling it in other contexts, allowing us to pull the live
config data even if the filesystem is out of date.
* added bitwise operation based sqrt16
- replacement for fastled, it is about 10% slower for numbers smaller 128 but faster for larger numbers. speed difference is irrelevant to WLED but it saves some flash.
* updated to 32bit, improved for typical WLED use
- making it 32bits allows for larger numbers
- added another initial condition check for medium sized numbers
- increased the "small number" optimization to larger numbers: the function is currently only used to calculate sqrt(x^2+y^2) which even for small segments is larger than the initially used 64, so optimizing for 1024 makes more sense, although the value is arbitrarily chosen
- Implement vector in bus manager
- Memory calculation according to explanation from @Makuna
- Prefer 8 RMT before 8 I2S on ESP32 (fixes#4380)
- speed improvements in ABL
- verbose debugging
- get bus size from NPB (prototype)
- Parallel I2S output bugfix
- automatic selection of appropriate I2S bus (`X1xxxxxxMethod`)
- removed I2S0 on ESP32 (used by AudioReactive)
- renumbered internal bus numbers (iType)
- added buffer size reporting
This is purely a "clean code" thing, no impact on function - it helps to avoid confusion when reading the code.
C++ allows declaration and implementation to use different variable names.
* 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
Redesign the usermod system so that usermods are implemented as
PlatformIO libraries instead of headers. This permits them to call for
dependencies, and eliminates the compiler flags for enabling each one,
allowing the build cache to behave better.
The usermod list is built using some linker magic to construct a static
list in ROM memory. This eliminates the need for wasting SRAM on
something fixed at build time.
