ESP32 build 2210301

This release includes many under the hood refinements for SR-WLED

User Interface and generic features:

• Info Page: status info for soundreactive (similar to upstream 0.14.0)
• Info Page: basic hardware info added (similar to MoonModules 0.14.0)
• 4 Line Display and 4LD_alt usermod: always use fast I2C hardware driver

Audio Processing:

• Analog input: Some improvements - might help in case you could not get analog input to work in SR 0.13.2
• New sound processing core (ArduinoFFT) is 10 times faster!
• • improves performance of both analog and I2S digital audio input
• • NB: This also improves co-existence with other usermods and with additional features like MQTT

UDP sound sync:

• improve performance/reliability of UDP sound sync
• Support for receiving "V2" format, which is sent by upstream 0.14.0

Effects:

• Minor bugfixes, like missed pixels in "Stream" effects, and a few speedups
• Sanity check added in setPixelColor(), to avoid memory errors due to negative pixel index
• • NB: this change also affects realtime modes (DDP, DMX, E13.1, LedFx, ...)

Custom Effects, 2D/3D, live preview:

• Liveviewws2D: show playlist / preset id (for HB playlist animations)
• Custom Effects 3.0.1: add rgbw, sPC for 2D, colorFromPalette out of sPC
• Peek1D for strip repaired. Peek3D for cubes added (experimental)
• Fix setPixelColor when using grid+Serpentine

misc. bugfixes, and fixes from upstream WLED 0.14.0

• auto-reboot after cfg.json restore (to avoid that WLED directly overwrites them after upload)
• Time Zones: added PKT (Pakistan), fixed NZ and AEST (Australia) time zones
• buttons: fix for ShortPressAction; ensure that buttons remain responsive also with long LED strings
• analog buttons: don't do analogRead() when the GPIO does not support analog input
• udp driver(udp.cpp): small bugfixes
• PlatformIO.ini: upgrade to fixed ESPAsyncWebServer (>= 2.0.7);
• PlatformIO.ini: use 80MHz FLASH speed for all "Sondreactive" build environments.

Changes from upstream v0.13.3

• Fixed flickering
• Fixed boot issues on new installs
• Added support for LPD6803
• experimental: optional watchdog feature, to auto-reboot a "hung" device. Compile with -D WLED_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT=30 to activate

SR-WLED is up to date with WLED up to and including wled commit 102a28a

Full Changelog: v0.13.2...v0.13.3

Installation

There are several possible methods for installing the new version (binary).

• If your devices was previously running SR WLED 0.13.1 or SR WLED 0.13.2, wireless update using OTA should work. OTA ensures that configuration and presets will be preserved.

• For new installations, we recommend to install via USB.

• online installation service: try https://wled-install.github.io/

• WLED ESP Flasher - requires power cycle after installing. Please wait at least 90 seconds after installing, to be sure you don't interrupt WLED when formatting its flash filesystem.

• install the binary for your device using esptool: see https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/Installing-and-Compiling#flashing-esp32-binaries-with-esptool

Please note that a reset (power off/on, or pressing RST) is necessary after installation. A "soft reboot" from the WLED Info page is not sufficient.

Other installation methods: Some users have reported problems to get their audio equipment to work after using other methods, so we recommend that you use one of the options listed above.

Upgrade Notice

• Please backup your configuration and presets before upgrading to this release. This can be done by visiting Config-> Security & Updates and clicking "Backup configuration" and "Backup presets".
• After upgrading from v0.13.1 or earlier, sound settings may need to be tuned. Some changes were made to the AGC and gain calculations. Please visit the sound settings page on your SR-WLED device for more information.

Update Notice

The new default ESP32 partition layout (1MB FS) is incompatible with the filesystem partition of the previous layout (1.5MB FS). Please note that config and presets will be wiped upon updating an ESP32 from 0.13.0-b4 or earlier to 0.13.3 via USB or web installers. ESP32 OTA updates are not affected, your data will be kept when doing a wireless update.

This release introduces a few new features and many under the hood refinements for SR-WLED

ESP32 build 2207301

New Features:

• Added 2D live preview
• Completly revised AGC function. Enable it and forget about 'gain' adjustments when music volume changes.
• Sound processing is much smoother now, and produces less artefacts. Use I2S digital input for best results.
• All 2D, ♫ and ♪ effects now work with AGC.
• Improved the look (awesomeness) of many effects.
• Effect slider names are changed to match their meaning in each effect.
• Added AGC presets to sound settings
• Added input level slider to frontend (adjustable with AGC=Off)
• Added microphone type selector (changes require hard reboot/power cycle)
• Added SR-WLED specific versioning

Lots of bugs fixed - including:

• Fixed several issues that lead to errors when loading/saving presets or LED config
• Improved FPS when SR WLED receives external LED commands, like from LedFx E1.31
• solved a problem that made it impossible to use serial port commands
• Resolved timing errors and a potential buffer overrun when using UDP sound sync

Upgrade Notes:

• Please backup your configuration and presets before upgrading to this release. This can be done by visiting Config-> Security & Updates and clicking "Backup configuration" and "Backup presets". example: http:https://{SR-WLED-IP}/settings/sec?
• After upgrading from v0.13.1 sound settings may need to be tuned. Some changes were made to the AGC and gain calculations. Please visit the sound settings page on your SR-WLED device for more information.

Why doesn't Blynk work?

New signups for the legacy Blynk app are closed and not a lot of you are using it.
My benchmarks have shown that on the Ethernet build for ESP32, with huge LED counts, the framerate is improved when it is not compiled in.
If you need it, don't worry, as you can still compile it in!
