manager.h File Reference

Detailed Description

Unified manager for channel drivers with priority-based fallback.

The ChannelManager coordinates multiple channel drivers (e.g., PARLIO, SPI, RMT) and automatically selects the best available driver based on priority. It acts as a transparent proxy using the Proxy/Decorator pattern - strip drivers interact with it through the ChannelDriver interface without knowing about the manager's existence.

Design Pattern: Proxy/Decorator

• Manager IS A ChannelDriver (inheritance for polymorphic use)
• Forwards calls to active driver
• Handles fallback automatically
• Strip drivers unaware of manager's existence

Usage Pattern:

1. Platform-specific code builds and configures manager with drivers
2. Strip drivers obtain manager reference: mDriver = &ChannelManager::instance()
3. Manager transparently selects best available driver
4. Automatic fallback when driver allocation fails
5. Per-frame reset allows driver re-evaluation
