Summary

  • Adds comprehensive architecture documentation (WLEDTubes.md) covering WLED core architecture and WLEDTubes-specific modifications
  • Documents PlatformIO configuration, build environments, and dependencies
  • Explains ESP-NOW mesh networking protocol and BPM-based animation sync
  • Provides file structure reference and comparison with standard WLED

Contents

The documentation covers:

  1. WLED Core Architecture - How the base WLED firmware works, supported LED types, software stack
  2. PlatformIO Configuration - Build environments, dependencies, build flags
  3. WLEDTubes Modifications - Mesh networking, beat sync, 3-layer effects, device roles
  4. File Structure Reference - Key files and their purposes

Test plan

  • Review documentation for accuracy
  • Verify file structure references match current codebase
