While developing, its main focus was set to eliminate blocking through delays. Therefore you need to add the line `asciiBlink.update();` to your main loop.\n\n## Installation\nDownload and import the zip-File from this repository.\n\n## Functions\n`void asciiBlink.begin([memsize]);`:\u003cbr\u003e\nInitializes the library. Must be called before anything else from this specific library. Otherwise strange things will happen. `memsize` is not needed and is set to `200` per default. If your program does weird things, you are probably out of memory.\n\n`void asciiBlink.enableDebug();`:\u003cbr\u003e\nEnables serial output of the LED states. Can cause problems with LEDs if the pins interfere with the serial pins (0, 1).\n\n`void asciiBlink.definePins(p0, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6, p7);`:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis function defines the pins to display the characters on. No need to setting up the pins manually. MSB first. Overwrites the old pins if called again.\n\n`void asciiBlink.setFrameTime(time);`:\u003cbr\u003e\nCan be called at any time. It sets the time per character. Default value is `1000ms`.\n\n`void asciiBlink.setPauseTime(time);`:\u003cbr\u003e\nCan be called at any time. It sets the delay between two characters. Default value is `50ms`.\n\n`bool asciiBlink.registerNewString(string);`:\u003cbr\u003e\nCan be called at any time. It adds new strings to the list. Be careful to not overflow the size of you characterbuffer. Returns false if memory overflows.\n\n`bool asciiBlink.registerNewDelay();`:\u003cbr\u003e\nRegisters a delay like any other char. Returns false if memory overflows.\n\n`bool asciiBlink.registerNewOnDelay();`:\u003cbr\u003e\nRegisters a delay like any other char. All eight LEDs are turned on. Returns false if memory overflows.\n\n`bool asciiBlink.test();`:\u003cbr\u003e\nRegisters eight chars which are displayed after one another. Useful to test the connected LEDs.\n\n`void asciiBlink.update();`:\u003cbr\u003e\nMust be called in your main loop to process the LED value.\n\n## Example:\n\n```cpp\n#include \"asciiBlink.h\"\n\nvoid setup() {\n    asciiBlink.begin(200);\n    asciiBlink.enableDebug();\n    asciiBlink.definePins(10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3);\n    asciiBlink.setFrameTime(1500);\n    asciiBlink.setPauseTime(75);\n    asciiBlink.registerNewString(\"Hello World!\");\n    asciiBlink.registerNewDelay();\n    asciiBlink.registerNewDelay();\n}\n\nvoid loop() {\n    asciiBlink.update();\n}\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimgoll%2Fasciiblink","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftimgoll%2Fasciiblink","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimgoll%2Fasciiblink/lists"}
