.. a fast helper for animations. It is similar to and inspired by the
PixelMap helper in Adafruit LED Animation library, but with an extremely
fast 'paste' method for setting a series of pixels. This is a common
operation for many animations, and can give a substantial speed improvement.
It's named `adafruit_pixelmap` so that we can package a compatible version
in pure Python for systems that can't fit it in C in flash, or for
Blinka.
This is a proof of concept and can make a very fast comet animation:
```python
import time
import adafruit_pixelbuf
import adafruti_pixelmap
import board
import neopixel
from supervisor import ticks_ms
from adafruit_led_animation.animation.solid import Solid
from adafruit_led_animation import color
pixel_pin = board.GP0
pixel_num = 96
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(pixel_pin, pixel_num, brightness=1, auto_write=False, pixel_order="RGB")
evens = adafruit_pixelmap.PixelMap(pixels, tuple(range(0, pixel_num, 2)))
odd_indices = tuple((i, i+2) for i in range(1, pixel_num, 4))
print(odd_indices)
odds = adafruit_pixelbuf.PixelMap(pixels, odd_indices)
assert len(odds) == len(odd_indices)
comet_length = 16
comet1 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.GREEN, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
comet2 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.PURPLE, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
pos1 = 0
pos2 = 96//4
while True:
evens.paste(comet1, pos1, wrap=True, reverse=False, others=0)
pos1 = (pos1 + 1) % len(evens)
odds.paste(comet2, pos2, wrap=True, reverse=True, others=0)
pos2 = (pos2 - 1) % len(odds)
pixels.show()
m = ticks_ms()
if m % 2000 > 1000:
time.sleep(.02)
```
- define CIRCUITPY_BUILD_EXTENSIONS to predefined values
- set CIRCUITPY_BUILD_EXTENSIONS in port and board config
- reuse the support matrix "get_settings_from_makefile" to get it
- move the existing port and board specific values
- remove the C3 specific board values because it's not the default
- update build_release_files.py to use get_settings_from_makefile
Format:
CIRCUITPY_BLE_NAME = My BLE Board
- the length is limited to 31 characters
- for the NRF version it repeatedly truncates the name if it's too long
- the ESP version defaults to "nimble" if the name is too long
Make them CIRCUITPY_FULL_BUILD = 0 and rework the boards to have
the same modules enabled (ish.)
Also make ZLIB require FULL_BUILD and disable advanced `micropython`
module APIs by default on all builds.
This lets the BLE stack run through the wait period after a VM run
when it may be waiting for more writes due to an auto-reload.
User BLE functionality will have their events stopped. Scanning and
advertising is also stopped.
