v0.5.0

StarLight

What's Changed

General

• StarBase v0.5.0
• StarDocs v0.5.0 GitHub and docs
• Fix Mirror Projection by @Brandon502 in #15
• Preview: select between 0, 1, 2, and 3 bytes per pixel (performance) (0 is no preview)
• Scale up, starting with 4096, to 8192, to 12288! to 16384 pixels !!

• PaintBrush Effect by @troyhacks
• VUMeter effect (WIP) by @ewowi
• Tuning of Waverly and GEQ Effects
• Fixture definitions:
  • no need to specify size and nrofleds of fixtures anymore. Calculated using 2-pass execution of Live Fixtures or F_ixture.json files
  • factor (1 for panels: pixel in cm precision and 10 for rings: pixel in mm prevision)

Live Scripts

• Live Fixtures: specify a fixture using a script telling which pixels are where on a fixture
• Multiple Live Effects and Live fixtures can run in parallel
• Sample Live Effects and Live Fixtures added LiveScripts
• More on Live Effects and Fixtures: StarDocs/LiveScripts

I2S Clockless (Virtual) LED driver

• Non virtual (ICLD) and Virtual (ICVLD) for all non S3 builds (instead of FastLED initLed and show), S3 will come later by @hpwit
• for PSRAM boards like WRover max 16384 LEDs
• How to setup: StarDocs/ClocklessLedDrivers

pio environment	Max LEDs	Remarks
esp32dev ICLD	8192 LEDs
esp32dev ICVLD	12288 LEDs
esp32 WRover ICVLD	16384 LEDs
esp32 s3	16384 LEDs	No ICVLD yet

• see also StarLight Live Scripts and Virtual Led Driver: #17

Dev related

• Move definitions from .h to .cpp files
• Refactor projections and effects (less code)
• Merge Fixture class into LedModFixture
• Fixture preview definition as binary web socket packages (instead UI opening F_ixture.json)
• Send preview definition and frames in packages of 5120 bytes to allow for high nr of pixels
• Change all pixel indexes from uint16_t to int - to allow for effects scrolling out of the visible window
• Rename projectAndMap to addPixel(s)Pre/Post
• Fixtures scripts 2 pass: calculate size and LEDs and mapping (f87a9be)
