• fix for color function
• in scan: fixed list duplication and QHM filtering (it now actually removes non-QHM), added an "all" mode because Bleak has issues with device names sometimes on windows apparently and I'm affected by it
• Added handle_ls and ls cmd: lists the current devices known from scan
• Added handle_macfilter and filter cmd: Filters known device list based on provided mac filter
• Modified Connect cmd: It only triggers if there are known devices, and if there are more than 0 it asks which in the list to connect to by index
• Bringing BLEClass up-to-date to implement power control (lazy copy-paste of BLEClass.py from main, tbh, but things still seem happy).
• Added help function.
• Added quit function.
• Added on and off.
• Brought in some color codes for console text color for prettier output but not sure how they'll play with windows cmd prompt. Linux terminal should like them fine
• adds support for setting the color of the color command in the command call (no more prompts), adds support for command sequence splicing. For example (epilepsy warning, no delays here):

  scan;connect;on;color 0,0,255;wait;color 128,255,255;wait;color 255,0,0;wait;off;quit

• adds wait command, you can add delays between operations in command strings
• you can now call /c "command string" at the command line to execute a command string - for instance:

python .\cmdver.py /c "scan;connect;on;color 0,0,255;wait;color 128,255,255;wait;color 255,0,0;wait;off;quit"

Thanks for this super support, really appreciate <3

Happily! Got distracted by audio visualization lol, it's still a hardcoded mess while I tune things but this is what's cooking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShN7VwWv5Ak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bxw485zAa8 Right now it's just a matter of calling "audio FILENAME" but once I've got it behaving I'll add ways to tune and customize the visualizer from commands and file another PR

[MikeCoder96]

Not totally clear to me. Are you trying to improve the audio part?

[read-0nly]

Oh, I might have veered off without checking if it was already done lol - had you build an audio visualizer in here? I've been sorta myopically hacking away at this - been wanting to put together a FFT-driven audio visualizer for a while, something that encodes both pitch and pulse. If it's already something you implemented I'll take a look at what you made instead - maybe a third option would work, where it takes some python as input and applies it to all WAV frames, then users could feed in their own processing logic

[MikeCoder96]

I've already implemented it but for microphone due to the fact that sometime I like to listen music from my Bluetooth speaker.

Here: https://github.com/MikeCoder96/HappyLighting-py/blob/master/LEDStripController/ExternalAudio.py

Need to be improved or reworked

lmao this keeps happening - ExternalAudio is exactly what I was looking for and it does it so much better than I was doing it. On windows 10 Stereo Mix can be enabled to loop-back system audio to microphones, it then gets picked up fine without changing the way you implemented it. I like the effect you programmed, though I'd still like to be able to save/load visualizer logic - so i'll start playing with an idea for feeding/swapping what visualize_spectrum does at runtime. This other tool I use for video editing, ffglitch, lets you feed in javascript then executes that javascript on every frame - something like that would be cool here too

Edit: I'm not making sense of how this is getting filtered down, it looks like it's just the lowest freq bins that are exciting the LEDs but I'm not seeing how it's filtering out the high-freq stuff. Could you point me in the direction of the culprit? Mostly just so I understand how you're doing this - it's much smarter than the bruteforce approach I was taking.

Edit part 2 electric boogaloo: "Exponential smoothing...acting as low-pass filters to remove high-frequency noise" - I think I'm on track now

Edit the third: I think I get it now, and I got my fft-bucket>hue effect I was trying to get working and a way to live-swap visualizers, will keep cleaning this up and undo the hacking I did on ExternalAudio then start another PR.
