- bugfix in mass based 2D collisions
- added improved and faster large size rendering to 1D system
- added per-particle size rendering to 1D system
- improved and simplified collision handling in 1D system
- removed local blurring functions in PS as they are not needed anymore for particle rendering
- adapted FX to work with the new rendering
- fixed outdated AR handling in PS FX
- fixed infinite loop if not enough memory
- updated PS Hourglass drop interval to simpler math: speed / 10 = time in seconds and improved particle handling
- reduced speed in PS Pinball to fix collision slip-through
- PS Box now auto-adjusts number of particles based on matrix size and particle size
- added safety check to 2D particle rendering to not crash if something goes wrong with out-of bounds particle rendering
- improved binning for particle collisions: dont use binning for small number of particles (faster)
- Some code cleanup
- better size control as size is now exactly mappable to pixels so it can be matched exactly to the collision distance
- no more gaps due to collision distance mismatch
- much faster: saw up to 30% improvement in FPS
- also adjusted some of the FX to make better use of the new rendering
* improvements to Aurora FX
- converted to integer math, increasing speed on all ESPs, also shrinks code size
- caching values to avoid repeated calculations
- CRGBW instead or CRGB, adds white channel support when not using palette
- fix for new brightness/gamma handling
* overflow & unsigned fix
- if a segment is destroyed or turned inactive, disable the gif player: only one gif player instance can run at a time, if a inactive or destroyed segment uses it, the effect is broken for other segments.
- copy FX ironically copied the source segment on each call, should use reference not a copy!
Sends a shimmer across the strip at defined (or random) intervals
Optional brightness modulators: sine or perlin noise
Can be used as an overlay to other effects.
* adding center bin selection to 2D GEQ: this makes it possible to use subsets of the GEQ on distributed strips
setting custom3 to 0 gives the "old" behaviour, this is the default. existing presets will have the custom3 slider at the center, changing presets that do not use the full width so this is a breaking change for those but I assume theser are rare.
* 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
- using segment buffer instead of local buffer to save FX ram
- fix rendering if gamma correction is disabled
- some code cleanup
- Fix for low RAM: reduce number of particles dynamically
- updated add and scale color functions to not use references
- FPS is now more consistent and on average about 15% faster
* 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
* enhancement & bugfixes in scrolling text
- function now evaluates full string: allows custom text plus multiple tokens in any order
- fixed evaluation order to prevent early exit(s)
- fixed day strings (argument must be weekday() )
- fixed "jumpyness" by improving offset calculation resolution
- added palette support
- added two rendering modes for use with palette: one uses hue-mapping, one uses brightness mapping
- added alternate animation mode (from initial source)
- extended scaling: zoom checkmark (depends on matrix size)
- fixed inconsitencies in size rendering
- fixed palette being wrapped in color by position and color by age modes
- Fixed bug in memory layout: for some unknown reason, if flags come before particles, last flag is sometimes overwritten, changing memory laout seems to fix that
- New color modes in PS Fireworks 1D:
- custom3 slider < 16: lower saturation (check1: single color or multi-color explosions)
- custom3 slider <= 23: full saturation (check1: single color or multi-color explosions)
- custom3 slider > 23: color by speed (check 1 has not effect here)
- custom slider = max: color by age or color by position (depends on check1)
- 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)
* Removed memory manager from PS
- reverted all changes related to memory manager
- moved local buffer into effect data memory
- some RAM issues may occur on larger setups: tested on S3 it works fine up to 32x32 but runs into memory issues at 64x32
* fixed ifdef, improved readability, add optimize "o2" flags to improve speed
- added struct for x and y coordinates, thx to @blazoncek
* cleanup and minor improvements
- removed local buffer for ESP8266 in 1D system to save on RAM
- increased particle brightness in PS Impact
- minor tweak in collision binning (might improve speed)
- removed comments and some other unused stuff
- fixed a few compiler wranings
* fixed init sequence bug
* added Sonic Boom AR FX, some tweaks to Sonic Stream
* added white color option to Sonic Stream
* improvements to collisions (speed look-ahead)
* code prettified
* added "playful" mode to PS Chase plus some minor speed optimizations
* Adding new FX: PS Springy with many config options
