mangavalkandClaude Opus 5.5 1d3b084de1 Add HA dropdowns, off image, flip fixes and refresh effects

Home Assistant: remove the Clock switch (its entity is deleted on connect),
add an IP sensor and Mode / Off image dropdowns whose options follow the
saved bitmaps. Remove the built-in "Nintendo border" bitmap.

Off image: a bitmap (or blank) left on the dots when the display switches off.

Nano: pause after each flip pulse and repeat pulses for changed dots, both
stored in EEPROM (G/N commands). Refresh effects (E command): instant,
sparkle, wipe, rain, from the middle out, diagonal, spiral, flip all then
reveal, push and random, optionally only for small changes. Effects run in
steps from loop() so serial input keeps flowing.

Web UI: flip settings, refresh effect and test patterns under Settings; the
System tab shows why the ESP32 last restarted. Settings records from
versions 1 and 2 are migrated. Firmware 2.3.0.

BROSE9323 driver

An Adafruit_GFX driver for Brose flipdot panels, shared by both firmware targets. The constructor is BROSE9323(width, height, panel_width, flip_time_us = 280). This project uses BROSE9323 display(84, 19, 28).

Build modes

Flag	Used by	Behaviour
(none)	Nano	Drives the panel through GPIO. Keeps an old and a new frame buffer and flips only the dots that changed.
`-D ESPSERIAL`	ESP32	Holds no buffer. `drawPixel`, `fillScreen`, `display` and `setTiming` are sent as serial commands to the Stream passed to `begin(&Serial)`.
`-D FLIPDOT_PLCC_ADAPTER`	Nano (optional)	Uses the pin mapping of the PLCC adapter board.

The flags are set per environment in platformio.ini through build_flags. Don't #define them in the header.

Notes

In direct mode (setDirect(true)) every pixel is flipped right away, without a call to display().
setGap(us) adds a pause after each flip pulse, setPulses(n) pulses each changed dot n times. Full redraws (display(true), the first display() after boot) pulse the dots that look unchanged only once.
setEffect(effect, ms): how display() shows a frame (RefreshEffect in dot_sequence.h). Anything but EFFECT_INSTANT runs in steps from update(), which must be called often; busy() says whether an effect is running. display(true) is always instant. On the ESP32 these calls become the G, N and E commands.
print() maps German umlauts (ÄäÖöÜüß) to the code page 437 glyphs used by the GFX font.
On an ATmega168 the old buffer is left out to save RAM. Every display() call then flips all dots.
