Made the display draw more pre-emptive #90

Closed mryndzionek closed 1 month ago

This is just a proposal. Tried to make it as pretty as possible.This essentially adds "pre-emption" point after every display page transfer. I would add some more sophisticated button event handling, but I can't do it because of more than 50ms blocking in ssd1306_show.

Is 50ms what it was or is it 50ms per page now ?

No measurements yet, but should be now ~(50/8)ms per page.

Still working on one issue with the encoder.

mryndzionek commented 1 month ago

I unified the encoder handling with the other events. Fairly large changes. Hope there are no regressions. Testing is appreciated. The only potential, sort of, issue I noticed is waterfall tearing when encoder rotated. Actually looks kind of cool, so might be a feature not a bug :smile: . We can now control how fast the encoder response is. In this PR it is set to fairly fast - noticeable in menu.

Hi, would you mind holding off on this for now? I have a branch in the pipeline to add support for tft display, cat control and usb audio. I've changed the approach slightly and I'm not quite sure how this is going to fit.

This is just an experiment, so no worries.
