mangavalkandClaude Opus 5.5 2b1ac12ed7 Add a web UI to the clock firmware
- Web UI on port 80: live view of the display, choose the page (clock or
  a bitmap), bitmaps (list, show, live, edit, delete), draw / image upload
  with conversion in the browser, live mode, settings, Home Assistant
- Live view from a shadow buffer in the BROSE9323 driver (shownPixel)
- Settings in NVS with the original behaviour as defaults: schedule times,
  quarter hours, yawning Pikachu, No WiFi screen, flip time, status LED,
  Home Assistant broker (restart on change)
- Bitmaps on LittleFS; new 320 KB partition, ota slots now 1.31 MB
- DisplayController: pages, live mode, settings; app.cpp holds the objects
- README for the recovery app; docs for the web UI
- Tests: settings, time parsing, bitmap format and names, schedule with
  settings, pages and live mode (95 total)

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().
  • 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.
