noone is ever looking at the code to find out what a project can do
Unless someone tells me directly that a project can do the thing I need it to, if it is not in the readme the project lacks that said feature. :)
I do not have time for that unfortunately.
In the hackerspace, we've played NES games on my matrix. :)
That is very exciting! :)
Now it needs to be documented so that others can replicate your results. :)
Oh! How could I forget a big thing: As of mod-mod-the-modening being merged, we've got mod_farbherd, which loads farbherd video files, which is a format of ours. It's hard to use if you don't have the tools, but if you do, it's pretty simple to get videos converted.
I know we have that unidirectional pipe control thing, but I think we need more than that.
It would become even better if there would be an interface that "people" could connect to and vote on effects or some other silly stuff to make the whole thing more interactive.
By the way, thanks to #87 we are well on the way to get sled running on ESP32's. Surprisingly well performing, I thought it'd be way worse.
I've also been thinking of the interesting side effects of having an ESP32 port.
We now have a good enough reason to implement a network abstraction, for example.
Mesh network between panels, anyone? :)
One use of that would be for example out_mpsse_spi, where the whole multiple-matrix thing could be outsourced, perhaps controlled in a more elegant way.
@kbob Wow, that's very cool, saw it on twitter! I'm glad you like it. :)
The port unfortunately has some pretty weird problems. I had to change the
oscore_event implementation from a working state to a broken state, because the working one was broken by design. I'm still stuck debugging this and loosing my mind.
If you have a ws2812b matrix and an ESP32, #87 is in desperate need of help.
Well, realistically, you don't even need the matrix, but it helps seeing when it's correct..
@GeorgeIoak Awesome, very nice, thank you. The part relevant for debugging is
src/os/os_freertos.c. I have pushed my local changes. On the ESP32, by default, it assumes the matrix is attached to pin 22. You can change that in src/modules/out_esp32_digitalledlib.c. I changed it to pin 13 because that was what was easiest to wire for me.
A how-to-build is in the issue itself.
