Scott Lawson 565aada7af Increased temporal dithering amount in ESP8266 firmware 2017-01-04 22:12:32 -08:00
Scott Lawson 0e73fd1348 Improved GUI, fixed bugs, better visualizations
* Resolved an issue with the ESP8266 where gamma correction would be
performed twice. Changed GAMMA_CORRECTION to SOFTWARE_GAMMA_CORRECTION
to make a distinction between software and firmware gamma correction.
The ESP8266 does firmware gamma correction and dithering, while the
Raspberry Pi uses slightly more inferior software gamma correction.
Changed the software gamma table to match the gamma table used in the
ESP8266 firmware.

* Improved the spectrum visualization by using one of the color channels
to visualize the absolute value of the temporal derivative of the
spectrum. Also added a feature to reject the "common mode" spectral
components, which is analogous to the spectral DC component.

* Signficantly improved the GUI and added a frequency adjustment slider.
Adjusting the frequency range has a big impact on the visualization
output. Recommend using a high frequency range (something like 4 kHz -
10 kHz) when running the scrol visualization.

Scott Lawson f860922d67 Removed ws2812b i2s library dependency, updated README
I have added a pre-configured version of the ws2812b i2s library to the
Arduino code. This removes the need to download and install the ws2812b
i2s library manually. The ws2812b code has been preconfigured to reduce
the temporal compared to the default value. The default value was found
to cause excessive flickering. The readme has been updated to reflect
this change. Also added a note about the maximum number of LEDs (255)
