The NeoPixel class now handles 4 bytes-per-pixel LEDs (extra byte is
intensity) and arbitrary byte ordering. APA102 class is now derived from
NeoPixel to reduce code size and support fill() operation.
The OneWire class is now in its own onewire.py module, and the temperature
sensor class is in its own ds18x20.py module. The latter is renamed to
DS18X20 to reflect the fact that it will support both the "S" and "B"
variants of the device.
These files are moved to the modules/ subdirectory to take advantage of
frozen bytecode.
That apparently will only help folks who read the docs on how to disable,
but could use a quick reminder straight in boot.py. For the developers,
it's important to have debug logging enabled in development branch
(master).
To start with, the critical scripts _boot.py and flashbdev.py are frozen
to improve performance and reduce RAM consumption.
Saves about 1000 bytes of heap RAM for a bare boot with filesystem.
It interferes with running testsuite. master branch should be optimized for
development, so any features which interfere with that, would need to be
disabled by default.
If there's no port_config.py file, or it lacks WEBREPL_PASS variable,
"initial setup mode" will be entered on first WebREPLconnection. User
will be asked for password, which will be written to
port_config.WEBREPL_PASS, and system restarted to work in normal mode
with password active.
Changes are:
- added OneWireError exception and used where errors can occur
- renamed read/write functions to use same names as C _onewire funcs
- read_bytes is now read, write_bytes is now write
- add ability to read/write DS18B20 scratch pad
- rename start_measure to convert_temp (since that's what it does)
- rename get_temp to read_temp (consistency with other read names)
- removed test function
All Flash sans firmware at the beginning and 16K SDK param block at the
end is used for filesystem (and that's calculated depending on the Flash
size).
Flash size as seen by vendor SDK doesn't depend on real size, but rather on
a particular value in firmware header, as put there by flash tool. That means
it's user responsibility to know what flash size a particular device has, and
specify correct parameters during flashing. That's not end user friendly
however, so we try to make it "flash and play" by detecting real size vs
from-header size mismatch, and correct the header accordingly.
