This is the first official release of the Lixie library! Since the alpha on Hackaday.io, I've fixed the stuck digit issue by rewriting the library from scratch. :) Here are the changes:

  • No longer converts numbers to char arrays for pushing out the data, it now does this mathematically with division.
  • The led_states array has been reduced to almost 1/8th it's original size! Before, each binary state was stored greedily in it's own byte. Sloppy programming. This meant the LED states of a single digit took 20 bytes! :( Now, a much better system of storing the binary states in the actual BINARY of a byte is here. A single digit now only takes 3 bytes! (20 states, 4 bits left over)
  • Lixie now has HSV color space as well as RGB! Use either that you'd like. :)

Thanks for the support so far, I can't wait to begin selling these!
