Flytheflag: A PWM demonstration ;)

[urjaman]

This is just for fun, I'm having fun ;)

Also, I'm posting this to show the code that goes with the little videos I posted on mastodon

And to also say: I'm surprised at how nice amaranth is to work with (once i got little bit of a hint, the first night was a lot of learning).

(Especially the sinetable, I was like "ugh, i gotta find/make a sinetable if i want sine-like motion" "wait, i have all of python, i can just generate any sinetable".)

But, after all that, since I have this applet, would we like an applet like this in the distribution? (certainly with some cleanup, I don't have any idea about the interface and boilerplate stuff I copied, i just wanted my LED blinkies)

Hi @urjaman!

I'm glad you're having fun!

And to also say: I'm surprised at how nice amaranth is to work with (once i got little bit of a hint, the first night was a lot of learning).

This is one of my major goals. (The other being that using it should feel safe and comfortable.) I'm glad that it's noticeable!

But, after all that, since I have this applet, would we like an applet like this in the distribution?

This has come up before and the questions I asked were:

• What are the criteria for picking which applets we spend maintenance effort on?
• Blinkenlights are fun, but inherently lack a defined scope: you can do literally as complex patterns as you want. Is it worth it?

Oh, this is really pretty:
