yeah when you start pushing PR's and knowing your code is going to get reviewed you approach it in a different way. the code just for myself, not on github, or in a PR, is extremely messy. kinda like getting dressed up for church vs hanging out in sweatpants.

I did a bunch of coding of firmware in assembly where structure and beaucoup comments were essential. Created some good habits except concise brevity. Still working on that.

i write comments geared towards beginners, probably something i picked up reading so many adafruit learn guides, it does rub off, but it even helps to give reviewers context to quickly glance through PR's

learn guide documentation in github is like 4-7GB. found out the hard way one day
i think total learn guides are over 2000 now
brazen grove
you can make a shallow clone
similar to what the "fetch-submodules" command does in the cp repo
sand lotus
with the frequency they work on learn guides, and god forbid adabot goes ham every week, pulling origin before a push is probably an ordeal.
core actually isn't so bad, i've found the learn documentation far more intensive
brazen grove
you can find the right commit with git blame

core has been streamlined by devs for the purpose of fast builds.. learn documentation doesn't work that way.

i've been up all night working on a new rev on the tr-cowbell. figured out how to improve it and knew if i went to sleep i might forget.

Was able to get palette slicing working this morning. Here’s a test of getitem to confirm slice object parsing. Thanks to JP for the bitmap. https://youtu.be/qfwl0dukwvg
sand lotus
modifying every LED to be non addressable 4 pin RGB. if i use a WS2811 IC to control them can chain them all together plus use LED animations, etc..
modifying every single step switch is labor intensive but it'll be worth it.
inner spade
Yes. Full list slicing for start, stop, stride including sequence reversal.
Still need to include delete, insert, and append. Learning a bunch about slicing.
sand lotus
basically turning a non-addressable 4 pin LED's into addressable LED's.

inner spade

Fascinated observing your thought process and design considerations. This will be one heckava sequencer.
-> The helper returns an RGB compatible integer
hex() just converts an integer to a string
sand lotus
kinda cool
inner spade
Change the mode to continuous
Because light mode includes black
Would filling with a vectorio line be faster?
sand lotus
smooth gradient, looks good
sand lotus
set it to 1.0 see what happens
when playing with colors you want your eyes to see the visual differences
then try 0.1, you want to see the high and low
inner spade
To get white boundaries, add white to the color table and select continuous mode.
Every TFT display is different; gamma lets you tweak it.
sand lotus
then it's acting like dithering in a way
one trick with horizontal gradient is glass buttons, apple first introduced it and was really big in the 2000's
screenshot from my website, i use it heavily because i love the look. very simple to do in any color
inner spade
Converting RGB bytes to a composite integer:
return (int(red) << 16) + (int(grn) << 8) + int(blu)
“Premium” gradients
That’s a nice algorithm. Better suited to this application than rgb_spectrum_tools, I think.
Works for red but green and blue will need “AND” masks
grn = (color& 0x00ff00 ) >>8
blu = color & 0x0000ff
For gradients, it’s easier to work with R, G, and B separately when calculating the overlap. They act like separate spectrums.
Really like the gradient granularity parameter.
sand lotus
multiple moving gradients sounds cool
inner spade
Would be interesting to convert the result list to a palette and apply to a bitmap of a gradient shaded shape. Could the gradient shaded shape be created algorithmically?
Would that be a way to create fancy premium gradients?
brazen grove

@smoky island Defined a gradient vectorio shape consisting of all vertical lines with a separate palette index for each line. Created three gradient palettes with a color defined for each line. Drew the composite vectorio shape with one of the palettes then replaced the composite shape's pixel_shader with the other palettes.
import board
import time
from vectorio import Rectangle
import displayio
from cedargrove_rgb_spectrumtools.n_color_table import Spectrum
OBJ_WIDTH = 320
OBJ_HEIGHT = 120
FRAME_DELAY = 0.5
# Define the display and primary display group and show
display = board.DISPLAY
primary_group = displayio.Group()
display.show(primary_group)
# Create Red/Yellow/Green light-style spectrum
spectrum_1 = Spectrum([0xFF0000, 0xFFFF00, 0x00FF00], mode="light", gamma=0.6)
gradient_palette_1 = displayio.Palette(OBJ_WIDTH)
for i in range(0, OBJ_WIDTH):
gradient_palette_1[i] = spectrum_1.color(index=i / OBJ_WIDTH)
# Create a second spectrum
spectrum_2 = Spectrum([0xFF00FF, 0x00FF00, 0xF0FFF0], mode="light", gamma=0.6)
gradient_palette_2 = displayio.Palette(OBJ_WIDTH)
for i in range(0, OBJ_WIDTH):
gradient_palette_2[i] = spectrum_2.color(index=i / OBJ_WIDTH)
# Create a third spectrum
spectrum_3 = Spectrum([0xFF00FF, 0xFF0000], mode="light", gamma=0.6)
gradient_palette_3 = displayio.Palette(OBJ_WIDTH)
for i in range(0, OBJ_WIDTH):
gradient_palette_3[i] = spectrum_3.color(index=i / OBJ_WIDTH)
# create a composite object of vertical lines each with its own palette index
for i in range(OBJ_WIDTH):
vert_line = Rectangle(
pixel_shader=gradient_palette_1,
width=1,
height=OBJ_HEIGHT,
x=i + 5,
y=5,
color_index=i,
)
primary_group.append(vert_line)
while True:
for i in range(OBJ_WIDTH):
primary_group[i].pixel_shader = gradient_palette_1
time.sleep(FRAME_DELAY)
for i in range(OBJ_WIDTH):
primary_group[i].pixel_shader = gradient_palette_2
time.sleep(FRAME_DELAY)
for i in range(OBJ_WIDTH):
primary_group[i].pixel_shader = gradient_palette_3
time.sleep(FRAME_DELAY)
Could just as easily created horizontal lines, diagonal lines, or concentric rectangles, circles or polygons, I suppose.
And this could be far easier when displayio.Palette and displayio.Group objects are sliceable rather than iteratively updated.
Confirms the notion that vectorio shapes can be used to build "standard" blank gradient shapes that are algorithm-generated then filled with the gradient palette. Changing the gradient colors just involves changing out or modifying the palette, not the bitmap.
smoky island
Nice! Lookin Great!
inner spade
With some memory-intensive display_shapes.circle objects. Not as efficient as vectorio, but it's possible to get circle outlines without the time consuming shape color fill process.
inner spade
The minimum noticeable bezier curve needs three control points. Imagine one at the start, one at the end, and the third “pulls” the line into a smooth curve. (I think.)

Any plans for Adafruit to sell a 5GHz WiFi compatible breakout?
Perhaps someday, someone will make one, maybe from the ESP32-C5. Could 2.4 GHz work for your project? It has better range, and lots of options.

Years ago I had a Radio Shack wired intercom, and my wife told me she heard strange people talking on it. I thought she was crazy for months until I heard it myself. I don't know how, but it was picking up Electric company radio transmissions.

I'm currently working on a Thermostat that I intend to port the Adafruit_GFX lib to be able to print on HTML5 Canvas. Custom fonts on Canvas is difficult, so I'll be converting GFX Fonts into SVG symbols.
