IceBeats v1.0

Release!!!

• Bugfix: SM lighting outputs work as intended.
• New idle animation, tweaks to the existing animation
• Several shift register light mappings, pin numbers, and LED strip lengths have changed to reflect my final hardware setup.
• Readme tweaks/expansion

IceBeats v0.3 Beta

We're getting closer to v1.0..! Pushed to production.

• Color palette changes now smoothly fade
• The current palette's hue now wavers a tad vaguely to the beat
• Lots of polishing of the bass LED strip effects, including a second bass strip visualization and more bass strip config options
• Improved bass kick effects in some visualizations
• Light test now tests all connected LED strips
• Added meme output - Stepmania's two bass neon outputs are xor'd together to get another electrical output on a shift register. Since SM doesn't seem to turn on only one neon normally, this is solely controlled by simfiles with lights charts that turn on only one bass light at a time.

TODO: Still gonna do a bit more polishing, namely mod a few things that still look like unicorn farts.

IceBeats v0.2 Beta

Man this thing's been a wild ride - some major changes may happen soon, posting a release to mark the time before I take a sledgehammer to the codebase... again.

• Finished visualization effect: Pitch (maps audio frequencies directlyish onto the LED strip)
• Automatic visualization and color palette swapping
• (Optional) Automatic music-based palette generation
• Added support for a second LED strip - Blinks to bass kicks
• "Bass kicks" are now controlled by Stepmania's lighting output (when available, generally works better than my beat detection code)

Codebase tidying:

• Split the sketch into several source files (why didn't I do this before???)
• The update loop implementation is less ghetto now (Timing with millis for a specific FPS >>>> delay(), fixing another very questionable coding decision!)

IceBeats v0.1 Beta

Initial release, seems production-safe (and pushed to production) but very much a pre-release - many things are still broken/unimplemented, but many other things work and that's good enough for now.

Working:

• Beat-driven LED strands via the magic of audio analysis
• Inputs for Stepmania
• Stepmania-driven lighting

WIP:

• Needs WAY better beat detection, audio analysis isn't magical enough yet.
• LED Strip visualizations are very unfinished
• Better SM lighting compatibility

Tested and working on the Teensy 3.2, tested and not working on the Teensy 4.0 (Audio library seems WIP for now).
