Documentation and PlatformIO!

There is a new documentation site for Astropixels!

https://r2djp.gitbook.io/astropixels

It doesn’t contain anything overly new compared to this website, but does give it a much better format. I’ll be including a link via a QR code in all Astropixel sets going forward.

One big benefit is that I’ve switched to PlatformIO for compiling and installing the firmware. You can still use the code in Arduino, but with PlatformIO I can now have different firmwares in the same repo. There are now a number of customer (tweaked) firmwares available to install via a web page. This includes one with Marcduino support, and a couple to give different colour options.

All the documentation is included in the repo, and dynamically updated. The firmware too is automatically compiled on updates!

Let me know what you think.
