Create animation helpers for LED lights #26

Closed alexwohlbruck closed 2 years ago

alexwohlbruck commented 2 years ago

After I get the LEDs hooked up, I will need to create some helper functions to run animations on the LEDs. Will be able to pass a color array and animation name to execute an animation.

Animation types:

dim gradient glow
bright gradient glow
pulse

States:

blue pulse: bluetooth pairing
yellow pulse: wifi setup
green pulse: setup finished
dim gradient glow: idle
bright gradient glow: sending message
pulse: receiving message

I created a solid algorithm for blending keyframed animations and transitions, however the processor is not quite fast enough to do all that math at >30fps, so I am going to have to figure out a less computationally expensive way to mimic the same effects. Tabling this for now.
