Fewer LEDs lit at a time. #1

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently the library allows for up to 11 LEDs to be lit at once.
Unfortunately, the Arduino doesn't supply enough current to light all of
them brightly, so you get a dimming across the bus. However, decreasing the
number of LEDs lit at once decreases the frame rate.

It needs to be determined at what point the number of LEDs lit, and the
frame rate is both uniform and acceptable for the LoL Shield.

Perhaps allowing the library user to tweak the refresh rate would help?  Adding 
a
call to adjust the value of tcnt2 might work.

Donezor, in SVN revision 13. Accomplished by doubling the number of steps in 
the display routine, and splitting updates across them based on pin_high
