hpwit/I2SClocklessVirtualLedDriver — monthly activity digest

What landed on hpwit/I2SClocklessVirtualLedDriver, month by month. External-context reference — a factual log of a friend repo's activity, not projectMM's own history or roadmap. Newest month on top. The reusable prompt that generates these lives in README.md.

The library: Yves Bazin's (hpwit) "virtual pins" variant of the I2S clockless driver — drives far more strips than the chip has usable pins by fanning the I2S output through external shift registers. This multiplex technique is the load-bearing idea projectMM's LED-driver analysis singles out (factoring the shift-register multiplex out of the I2S/LCD peripheral code). Summarised via the GitHub commits API, read across all branches (main, integration, int2, variable, hpwit-patch-1, dev, optomize), not just main.

Checked: repos/hpwit/I2SClocklessVirtualLedDriver/commits?sha=main for 2026-08-01..2026-09-01 (0), and the same window on all 7 branches (0); releases published (none); issue search repo:hpwit/I2SClocklessVirtualLedDriver is:issue created:2026-08-01..2026-08-31 and the same with closed: (0 results each).

July 2026

No user-facing activity this month: no commits merged to main (latest commit on main dates to November 2024), no commits on any other branch (newest anywhere is variable, December 2024), no releases published, and no issues opened, closed, or updated.

Checked: commits with author-date 2026-07-01..2026-07-31 on main and every branch (integration, int2, variable, hpwit-patch-1, dev, optomize) — 0 on each; issues created 2026-07-01..2026-07-31 (0), closed in that range (0), and updated in that range (0); PRs created (0); releases (none in July — latest versioned tag is 2.1, Jan 2024).

Checked: commits on main with author-date 2026-06-01..2026-06-30 (0 commits); issues created 2026-06-01..2026-06-30 (0), closed in that range (0), and updated in that range (0); releases (none in June — latest versioned tag is 2.1, Jan 2024).

No activity in the digest window (Sept 2025 – May 2026)

No branch has any commits in the window these digests cover; the project went quiet at the end of 2024. Its last active stretch:

  • December 2024 (variable / int2 branches) — variable-driver and integration work; this is the newest commit anywhere in the repo (variable, 2024-12-17).
  • November 2024 (main, tag 2.1) — ESP32-S3 support added and merged to main (2024-11-20).
  • Earlier 2024i2sStop moved into IRAM (June); ESP-IDF 5 corrections (June); shift-array support and examples (Jan–Oct).

Nothing newer to report. This file gets a new ## <Month Year> section the next time any branch sees in-window commits — watch integration/variable, where the development historically happened before merging to main.
