I've added an Excel spreadsheet to help build and visualize the font and emote bitmaps. At the same time, I've corrected some of the inconsistencies and errors I found in the bitmaps. I've also added a sample additional font, which is a slightly modified version of the public-domain font, micro-machina.
I've added a randomization function to the boop to display a few other emotes rarely.
Most significant change is refactoring the way that fonts and animations are loaded. I've changed the code to move fonts into modules, and now they load automatically from a directory (in order to save memory, only the fonts in-use are loaded - currently settings.emotefont and settings.scrollfont). Add a file to the fonts directory that contains a dictionary named "font" with the bytearray mappings - you automagically add a font with that name. The animations directory works similarly: Python and JSON files will do the same. Drop a file in, add an animation. No editing of files no explicit import statements. Huge improvement. Also, this was an enormously difficult hack, this method of loading modules appears to be explicitly discouraged by Python's idiom, which makes this change controversial. However, it makes the addition of both animations and fonts extremely user-friendly (as well as their disablement, as changing the extension, rather than deletion is all that's necessary to prevent a module from loading).
I've added a reverse-engineered OpenSCAD version of the LED shield. This version adds parameterized LED window scaling, and taper (straight-wall cuts being ideal for laser-cutting shields). New edge clips have been added, that much more aggressively hold on the shield. The resultant STL files inherently correct error in the original file's mesh (overlapping triangles), and correct the orientation to one suitable for printing.
Lastly, I've made a few corrections, removing typos, making the formatting more consistent (at least in the files I changed), and adding some additional status output to the serial console.
