Twinkly documentation tweak

[rec]

Feedback

Hello. I wrote a Twinkly controller for BiblioPixel so I'm somewhat familiar with it.

Twinkly does store some number of programs on the string itself in non-volatile memory - the specific number depends on the string itself.

More, there's a mode where you can send individual frames to an individual string in real time over the network (which is what I used above).

I'm don't at this time have the time to help you to integrate it into your excellent system, but wanted to correct the documentation.

Hey there @dr1rrb, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (twinkly) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

@rec really interesting! Do you known if there is a way to get the list of effects stored on the device? Does your "BiblioPixel" offers a way to retrieve that list?

Hello, and I'm so sorry to get back to you so late, lots happening!

BiblioPixel is a generalized LED lighting library. Unfortunately, it's not under development right now (through no fault of my own - the copyright owners of the name decided unilaterally).

However, it's been very stable for years.

I have written a tiny little driver for BiblioPixel that drives the Twinkly lights, but it depends on changes to the xled library that are under review right now.

The new changes to xled do allow you to retrieve and store patterns on the Twinkly!

But my feeling is that it will be several weeks before those are all resolved.
