Each Lixie II contains a special 11th pane, that is a decimal point by default but can be replaced by the user with any custom engravings on whatever 3mm materials they'd like.

Now, users can implicitly or explicitly control these "special panes" using easy functions detailed in the new "special_panes" example included with the Lixie_II library!

Lixie II 1.3.0 - Compatibility Fix Edition!

I've fixed several backward-compatibility issues and new bugs as well!

In summary:

  • Lixie_II is now ~95% backwards compatible with Lixie 1 code using deprecated functions. Some are omitted due to issues between the original blocking code and the new ISR-based code.
  • Manually set brightness levels are now software-enforced in the animation ISR, since CLEDController objects in FastLED do not support the native FastLED.setBrightness() call. A better fix is being researched.
  • Brightness can now be set with either 0-255 (8-bit) or on a floating point 0.0-1.0 range. (Still only 256 levels though)
  • The WIFI_NTP_CLOCK example has been refined for our upcoming Lixie II Powered Base kits, for the included "Hourglass" NTP controller, and includes a few extra color features.
