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), not just main.

June 2026

No user-facing activity this month: no commits merged to main (latest commit on main dates to November 2024), no releases published, and no issues opened, closed, or updated.

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.
