mangavalkandClaude Opus 5.5 0e4d39c47b Restructure into a single PlatformIO project with nano and esp32 targets
- Shared BROSE9323 driver in lib/, ESPSERIAL selected via build_flags
- Nano firmware in src/nano, ESP32 firmware in src/esp32
- Move WiFi/MQTT credentials to gitignored secrets.h (template provided)
- Pin home-assistant-integration to 2.1.0 from the registry
- Add esp32_usb environment for first flash / recovery
- Add READMEs and CLAUDE.md

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.
