yeah… i was just posting some google hits that got halfway close to the mark… like everything i am just going to write the code i need to work… I was just talking to myself out loud-but thanks for joining in!
I was trying to see if someone had written code for this… part of my problem is my brain doesn’t work like normal people, so i gotta make it CUSTOM
But i will let you in on the project, to make it short i want to make anticollision lighting system for my drone… I was thinking of using 1 or multiple of the XIAO 6x10
… this is going to be long… lol
so i am figguring power is going to be a problem
the first need is a white strobe light
then the next is navigation lights, green, red, and white on the back, yellow or orange on the front
so i wanted to make a human readable interface so i could define colors, lets say KRGBWYCM and make a matrix of these letters and then have the code run a lookup scheme to build an array and push it to the Adafruit Neopixel Library
so and then i wanted to use an IMU to make the brightness higher when the drone is higher and lower when lower so it doesnt blind on startup… then i wanted to use the IMU to make the navigation lights switch based on the movement of the drone…
Red on Right Returning, Green on Left and White on Stern (yellow on front)
so if the drone is moving away then from a navagation standpoint the Stern will be facing, even if it is actually the front or side… if that follows
i was just putting out a request if anyone knows of any Libs doing similar things… without anything better i guess i am going to use custom code and NeoPixel…
The u8g2 is a good lib, but i dont think it is b eing updated… I wanted to learn how to manage memory blocks like it does… also wanted to do epaper displays with it, but the developer said he was not adding these features… anyway
