Better config and integration options. (Can still do custom stuff using components)

• Remove old kicad project files
• Rename kicad files
• Rename repo

https://forum.kicad.info/t/schematic-library-path-relative-to-project-folder/8662

Libraries in local project folder.

The project file get updated when I run the kicad automation.

Design an enclosure

At the moment, if new patterns or effects were to be added it must be compiled and re-uploaded to each device. While not impossible, it is a tad inconvenient to have to flash every device with new firmware.

It would be nice it new effects could be uploaded and saved to the device.

My original idea was a chip8 like VM that the micro-controller could run "ROMs" for. But there is also NodeMCU which could be a more practical option.

External libraries are now submodules

Fan header.

Should also include a temperature sensor for feedback

Use the configurable topic prefix when creating MQTT topics.

prefix/cmd, prefix/state

Currently they use the absolute path on my system,

Device will be able to recover out of power cycle.

So that subscribers will the the update immediately.

Onboard temperature sensor

Add mounting holes for a small fan (Requires #43)

Key connector would be better then the 4 pin headers.

TypeError: string indices should be integers

Make them less bulky looking.

Design a PCB layout for this project.

Publish device state to a topic.

Somehow the controller gets into a state where the state will be null and the color will be {}.

$ mosquitto_sub.exe -h 192.168.0.2 -p 1883 -t /home/livingroom/lights/accent1/state
{"color":{},"effect":"Fire Flicker","state":null}

This is one of the "strapping" pins and is used to configure the SPI flash. Currently this is pulled up for one of the level shifters which configures the SPI flash for 1.8V instead of 3.3V.

The idea would be to have a USB-C PD sink controller on board to request higher power levels from a USB power supply.

Probably because of the delay. The serial communication needs to be interrupt driven.

If the device disconnects from WiFi, it enters the MQTT re-connect loop, giving the appearance that the animation has slowed down.

Git LFS?

Build firmware and release to github

Need to pull in dependencies. Could use arduino-cli.

Neopixels demo

wled supports up to 10 channels per instance.

Support multiple "logical" light strip on the single GPIO. Logical light strips can be configured as a pair of start and end indices.

Push exported gerber files to Github Releases.
