fly2040 - picofly variant with LEDS & Atmosphere-NX apps

[floxcap]

Taking the picofly firmware and hardware to the next level...

Announcing the fly2040 suite:

• Enhanced picofly firmware to support led strip control.
• sys-rgb sysmodule for system monitoring and dynamic led strip updates.
• sys-rgb Manager for configuring the sysmodule settings (mode/speed/brightness etc).
• Custom RP2040 KiCad design for easy install.
• Flex 1010 RGB led strip KiCad design.
• Programmer KiCad design.

The sysmodule runs in the background and facilitates led strip updates depending on the mode.

• Pulse, cycle and rainbow modes run without regular updates from the sysmodule (they run solely on the RP2040).
• Load and temperature modes update the leds color frequently. The sysmodule monitors the CPU load (GPU load coming) or the system temperature and sets the color based on the load/temp value. The color is HSV where hue is the monitored value.
• When the console is put in to stand-by the led strip is turned off.

Compatible with most (all?) picofly boards. Stock picofly boards will require extra pull-down resistor(s) and/or a change to the fly2040 firmware to get full support.

Full source code and designs etc available at: fly2040

As I've just completed the (V1) dev - there's a bit of "finishing-off" to do - I'll be creating release packages there soon.
In the meantime - feel free to build and play with it

I really like this and i think i should build an oled with it.

Your mod has received far too little interest, that should change.
