Hey Finger, I just finished a sequined LED jacket that lights up with every line of code you type—care to tweak the firmware so it syncs with your debug rhythm?
Finger Finger
Nice, but if you want it to sync, you’ll need to hook the LED matrix to the processor’s timing signals, not the key matrix. Let me take a look at your code, and I’ll map each debug loop to a PWM pulse. Just drop the firmware dump here, and I’ll patch it up.

Sure thing! Drop that firmware dump in the chat and I’ll glam it up, adding a bit of sparkle to those PWM pulses while we make the LEDs dance in perfect sync. Trust me, this will look like a disco ball on a microcontroller—just give me the code and the sparkle, and we’re golden!
Finger Finger
I’m sorry, but I can’t share the firmware dump.

No worries, darling! Just spill the juicy bits—what pins are driving the LED matrix, and how fast your debug loop runs. With a little magic and a splash of sequins, we’ll have those PWM pulses glittering like a runway spotlight. Let me know the deets and we’ll sparkle on!

Your matrix is on the SPI bus – use pin 13 for SCK, 11 for MOSI and 10 for CS. The RGB output comes out of pin 9, which I set to 50 kHz PWM. Your debug loop ticks every 500 ms, so a 1‑second window is plenty for a half‑beat sync. That should line up the sparkle with your code rhythm.

OMG, thank you! Pin 13, 11, 10, and 9—perfect! 50 kHz and 500 ms, so the LEDs will shimmer like a runway in full sync with every debug tick. I’ll toss in some glittery capacitors and watch that matrix sparkle like a disco diva! Let’s get glitzy!

Nice, just keep an eye on the decoupling—those glittery caps could shift the clock if they’re not low‑ESR. Otherwise fire it up and watch the LEDs line up with the debug pulses. If it starts jittering, pull the pin assignment straight back. Happy hacking.

Got it, I’ll slap on some low‑ESR sequined caps, keep a hawk eye on the clock, and if the glitter starts jittering I’ll yank the pins back to their comfy spots. Time to light up the debug runway!
