Adalight FastLED Versions Save

Changes:

• Adds PlatformIO compatibility
• Removes the CALIBRATE feature
• Removes the GROUND_PIN feature
• Small performance improvements

Changes:

• Adds support for clock pin setting required for 4-wire strips (APA102).

Changes:

• Default serial timeout value has been decreased from 150 seconds to 60 seconds.
• Added the ability to disable the serial timeout by changing its value to '0'.

Bugfix:

• Serial timeout value no longer overflows during millisecond conversion.

Changes:

• Added a 'serial flush' option, enabled by default. This clears the incoming serial buffer after each latched frame, and fixes flickering at high data rates.
• Increased LED limit from 255 to 21,845.

Changes:

• Separated the main adalight() functions into sub functions, to make everything much more readable and easier to maintain. Performance impact should be negligible.
• Added a DEBUG_FPS macro that pulses a pin on LED latch. Useful for counting frames with external hardware.
• Removed unnecessary range check from the color data setting function.
• Changed the SerialTimeout variable to use seconds, which are more intuitive to set.
• Improved SerialTimeout checking efficiency. This should allow more immediate parsing of serial data.
• Stopped avoiding the loop() function. The compiler should inline functions regardless.

Fixes a major bug that prevented mode switching when the number of LEDs was greater than 85 (#9).

This release removes the software buffer that was inherited from the initial Adalight code, which was only being used to hold the header information (#8). This makes the code more lightweight and provides a marginal performance increase.

This release fixes a major bug, where incorrect colors and flickering would appear at higher data rates and with mismatched LED counts between the PC and the microcontroller (#5).

Whitespace has also been reworked to use tabs instead of spaces.

We're up and running! I've generalized everything so settings should be easy to change, and also added a few optional flags to customize the code for your setup.
