Power Management Functions

Detailed Description

Functions to limit the amount of power used by FastLED.

Topics
	LED Power Consumption Models
	Configurable power consumption models for different LED types.

Power Control Setup Functions
Functions to initialize the power control system
void	set_max_power_in_volts_and_milliamps (fl::u8 volts, fl::u32 milliamps)
	Set the maximum power used in milliamps for a given voltage.
void	set_max_power_in_milliwatts (fl::u32 powerInmW)
	Set the maximum power used in watts.
void	set_max_power_indicator_LED (fl::u8 pinNumber)
	Select a pin with an LED that will be flashed to indicate that power management is pulling down the brightness.

Power Control 'show()' and 'delay()' Functions
Power-limiting replacements of show() and delay(). These are drop-in replacements for CFastLED::show() and CFastLED::delay(). In order to use these, you have to actually replace your calls to CFastLED::show() and CFastLED::delay() with these two functions. Deprecated These functions are deprecated as of 6ebcb64, circa 2015. Do not use them for new programs.
void	show_at_max_brightness_for_power ()
	Similar to CFastLED::show(), but pre-adjusts brightness to keep below the power threshold.
void	delay_at_max_brightness_for_power (fl::u16 ms)
	Similar to CFastLED::delay(), but pre-adjusts brightness to keep below the power threshold.

Power Control Internal Helper Functions
Internal helper functions for power control.
fl::u32	calculate_unscaled_power_mW (const CRGB *ledbuffer, fl::u16 numLeds)
	Determines how many milliwatts the current LED data would draw at max brightness (255)
fl::u32	calculate_unscaled_power_mW (fl::span< const CRGB > leds)
	Determines how many milliwatts the current LED data would draw at max brightness (255)
fl::u32	calculate_unscaled_power_mW (fl::span< const CRGB > leds, const fl::Rgbw &rgbw)
	Same, for a strip driven through the RGBW conversion.
fl::u32	controller_unscaled_power_mW (const fl::CLEDController &controller)
	One controller's demand at full brightness, in mW, including idle draw – the quantity the limiter sums and scales.
fl::u32	dither_reserve_mW (fl::span< const CRGB > leds)
	The most BINARY_DITHER can add to one latched frame of leds, in mW (#4342, contract R4: "quantization reserve").
fl::u32	controller_dither_reserve_mW (const fl::CLEDController &controller)
	dither_reserve_mW() for a controller that dithers, and zero for one that does not: a mode other than BINARY_DITHER, or an active RGBW/RGBWW conversion (which reads the raw pixel on every non-AVR target).
fl::u32	scale_power_for_brightness (fl::u32 total_mW, fl::u8 brightness)
	Applies the configured power-scaling response to a total power value.
fl::u8	calculate_max_brightness_for_power_mW (const CRGB *ledbuffer, fl::u16 numLeds, fl::u8 target_brightness, fl::u32 max_power_mW)
	Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for a given set of LEDs.
fl::u8	calculate_max_brightness_for_power_vmA (const CRGB *ledbuffer, fl::u16 numLeds, fl::u8 target_brightness, fl::u32 max_power_V, fl::u32 max_power_mA)
	Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for a given set of LEDs.
fl::u8	calculate_max_brightness_for_power_mW (fl::u8 target_brightness, fl::u32 max_power_mW)
	Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for all sets of LEDs.
