Better Pattern than grid as test pattern #8

Closed skotchvail closed 11 years ago

There was some problem with the test grid not "popping" the flaws in the programming. Requires some thought, but we might be able to come up with a pattern that really does show flaws much easier.

In any case, having each square of the checkerboard be a very unique color (needs to be tested on the real LED's) would be a huge help.

I have two new animations that might be good enough for popping errors. One swipes horizontally and then vertically, which should expose LEDS that are not lined up correctly.

The other colors each strand a unique color one at a time, which helps expose strands whose coordinates overlap another strand.

Until I can get in front the actual bus with the actual LEDs, I am not sure if this will be good enough, but I am closing for now. We can open a new issue if we need further hardware animations for expossing coordinate problems.
