/*
RGBmatrixPanel Arduino library for Adafruit 16x32 and 32x32 RGB LED
matrix panels.  Pick one up at:
  http://www.adafruit.com/products/420
  http://www.adafruit.com/products/607

This version uses a few tricks to achieve better performance and/or
lower CPU utilization:

- To control LED brightness, traditional PWM is eschewed in favor of
  Binary Code Modulation, which operates through a succession of periods
  each twice the length of the preceeding one (rather than a direct
  linear count a la PWM).  It's explained well here:

    http://www.batsocks.co.uk/readme/art_bcm_1.htm

  I was initially skeptical, but it works exceedingly well in practice!
  And this uses considerably fewer CPU cycles than software PWM.

- Although many control pins are software-configurable in the user's
  code, a couple things are tied to specific PORT registers.  It's just
  a lot faster this way -- port lookups take time.  Please see the notes
  later regarding wiring on "alternative" Arduino boards.

- A tiny bit of inline assembly language is used in the most speed-
  critical section.  The C++ compiler wasn't making optimal use of the
  instruction set in what seemed like an obvious chunk of code.  Since
  it's only a few short instructions, this loop is also "unrolled" --
  each iteration is stated explicitly, not through a control loop.

// Two constants are used in timing each successive BCM interval.
// These were found empirically, by checking the value of TCNT1 at
// certain positions in the interrupt code.
// CALLOVERHEAD is the number of CPU 'ticks' from the timer overflow
// condition (triggering the interrupt) to the first line in the
// updateDisplay() method.  It's then assumed (maybe not entirely 100%
// accurately, but close enough) that a similar amount of time will be
// needed at the opposite end, restoring regular program flow.
// LOOPTIME is the number of 'ticks' spent inside the shortest data-
// issuing loop (not actually a 'loop' because it's unrolled, but eh).
// Both numbers are rounded up slightly to allow a little wiggle room
// should different compilers produce slightly different results.
#define CALLOVERHEAD 60   // Actual value measured = 56
#define LOOPTIME     350  // Actual value measured = 188
// The "on" time for bitplane 0 (with the shortest BCM interval) can
// then be estimated as LOOPTIME + CALLOVERHEAD * 2.  Each successive
// bitplane then doubles the prior amount of time.  We can then
// estimate refresh rates from this:
// 4 bitplanes = 320 + 640 + 1280 + 2560 = 4800 ticks per row.
// 4800 ticks * 16 rows (for 32x32 matrix) = 76800 ticks/frame.
// 16M CPU ticks/sec / 76800 ticks/frame = 208.33 Hz.
// Actual frame rate will be slightly less due to work being done
// during the brief "LEDs off" interval...it's reasonable to say
// "about 200 Hz."  The 16x32 matrix only has to scan half as many
// rows...so we could either double the refresh rate (keeping the CPU
// load the same), or keep the same refresh rate but halve the CPU
// load.  We opted for the latter.
// Can also estimate CPU use: bitplanes 1-3 all use 320 ticks to
// issue data (the increasing gaps in the timing invervals are then
// available to other code), and bitplane 0 takes 920 ticks out of
// the 2560 tick interval.
// 320 * 3 + 920 = 1880 ticks spent in interrupt code, per row.
// From prior calculations, about 4800 ticks happen per row.
// CPU use = 1880 / 4800 = ~39% (actual use will be very slightly
// higher, again due to code used in the LEDs off interval).
// 16x32 matrix uses about half that CPU load.  CPU time could be
// further adjusted by padding the LOOPTIME value, but refresh rates
// will decrease proportionally, and 200 Hz is a decent target.

// The flow of the interrupt can be awkward to grasp, because data is
// being issued to the LED matrix for the *next* bitplane and/or row
// while the *current* plane/row is being shown.  As a result, the
// counter variables change between past/present/future tense in mid-
// function...hopefully tenses are sufficiently commented.
