Releases: kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX
Fixed bug with max macro for ESP boards
fixed bug with max macro (#355) Fixes issue #354
Added support for ATtiny processors
Added support for ATtiny processors. See the new ws2812fx_ATtiny example sketch for details.
Misc bug fixes and enhancements
Misc bug fixes and enhancements. See the change log.
Custom effects are now built-in for ESP and RP2040
See change log for details.
Reorganized the code, speed tweaks and updates to example sketches.
The major changes:
-
The source files were getting very big, so I split the .h and .cpp
files into three .h files and three .cpp files. The files are
still pretty big, but are now a little more manageable. -
The Arduino's memory limitations are starting to really hinder
expanding the library's feature set, so I split the header file into
separate files for ESP (modes_esp.h) and Arduino (modes_arduino.h).
Hopefully this will make it easer to add new features/effects for
ESP devices, and not blow up the memory footprint for Arduino devices. -
Updated the ws2812fx_patterns_web example sketch to use the
async web server (ESPAsyncWebServer) instead of ESP8266WebServer,
so the sketch now supports ESP8266 and ESP32. -
removed support for the legacy AduinoJson v5 library in the
ws2812fx_patterns_web example sketch. You must use the
ArduinoJson v6 library. -
Added the tester.zsh script to verify all the example sketches
for Arduino, ESP8266 and ESP32 devices. Automated
testing??? What a concept! :) -
Refactored the modes for ESP devices, so the mode data is stored
in a struct, and added an effect category to the struct. This
should have been done long ago, but the tight coupling of Arduino
and ESP code made it problematic. Hopefully this will spur more
innovative GUI designs that don't just show one gigantic list
of effects. -
POTENTIALLY BREAKING CHANGE
Changed the timing of the CHASE, TWINKLE_FADE, RUNNING, DYNAMIC
and Fireworks effects to make them more consistent with the other
effects. A speed setting of 1000 should give reasonable results
for all effects. While this isn't strictly a breaking change,
your speed settings for these effects might need to be tweaked
to get the same animation rate you had before. -
Refactored the rainbow_chase effect to be more efficient.
Added built-in rain effect and bug fixes. See change log.
Added built-in rain effect and bug fixes. See change log.
Added Ws2812FXT class for effect transitions, and minor bug fixes.
Added Ws2812FXT class for effect transitions, and minor bug fixes. See the change log.
Minor refinements to the library. Added two example sketches and a custom effect.
Minor tweaks to the lib, and enhancements to custom effects and example sketches
Tweaked RUNNING_COLOR effect.
Tweaked RUNNING_COLOR effect and changed _modes[] to a static array. See the change log.
Refactored much of the segment code. Please see the change log.
Significant rewrite of the code that manages segments. Please see the change log. Note, the ICU effect has been moved from a built-in effect to a custom effect.
