Historique des mises à jour — firmware, application et site

v1.2.1June 2026Bug fixes

🐛 Bug fixes

LED strips: Fill up and Scrolling fill effects now play to the end at high speed (the last LED actually lights up before the animation loops)
LED strips: Wave width is now in the right direction (small value = thin bump, large value = wide bump)
LED strips: selecting « Scroll » in Active effect actually plays the scroll (and not the wave as before)
Smooth speed slider over the full range, and direct manual FPS input — displayed value matches what's actually played

✨ Improvements

New HD color wheel: white at center, smooth gradient to saturated colors across the whole disc, double resolution on high-density displays
My colors: save your custom colors (max 16) and find them with a tap in every color picker in the app
New « Apply strips to the board » button in the LED Strip tab, faster than the Settings → Apply all
v1.2.0June 2026Major update

✨ Major features

Addressable LED strips (WS2812) — three types to choose from: solid-color whole strip, LED-by-LED chain with per-LED linking to functions, or strip split into independently controlled sectors
7 dynamic effects for strips: static, scroll (with optional comet trail), wave, growing fill, blink, fill-grow
Per-sector timeline: 3 scenarios (init, idle, active) automatically triggered by the link to an existing function (headlights, fog, reverse…)
High-precision HSV color wheel + 10 realistic bulb-color presets (halogen 2700K, cool xenon, white LED, signaling…)
Guided wizards: visual LED-count calibration + 4-step sector creation
Standalone integration: strips and sectors are now available as standalone-sequencer targets (parade modes, pit-stand shows…)

🔧 Improvements

Inline renaming of strips and sectors (spot them in a glance in Quick Control)
ON/OFF buttons in Quick Control for strips and sectors that aren't linked to a function
Numeric input next to every slider (precise values from the keyboard)
Collapsible accordions for strips and sectors (cleaner UI when you have many)
Arduino Nano ESP32: pins are now shown with their silkscreen label (D8, A2…) instead of the raw GPIO number
Full NVS persistence for strips and sectors (everything is restored when the board boots)
Website: new full « Addressable LED strips » guide (parts, wiring, logic level, effects, troubleshooting)
Website: 19 blog posts split into separate URLs (stronger SEO), structure + glossary

🐛 Bug fixes

Turning on hazards no longer blocks the reverse light when shifting to reverse (reported by a tester)
6 addressable bugs fixed: sector sliders without effect, strip black on reboot, init race condition, multi-section…
v1.1.3May 2026What's new

✨ New

Improved modes: a mode now saves your WHOLE scene (settings, pins, custom LEDs, groups) — switch with a single tap. New « Default » mode (can't be deleted) to return to a clean setup anytime.
RC calibration: your calibration now stays on the board (the app reads it instead of overwriting it), and reverse finally reaches 100 %.
Left/right turn signals on 4 separate outputs, and a new « Fade » ignition effect for custom LEDs.
Enhanced customization (custom LEDs, groups) with a new full online guide, and more reliable app ↔ board sync.
v1.1.2May 2026What's new

✨ New

Standalone mode: the car plays a looping light sequence fully on its own (no phone) — perfect for a pit-stand show or parade mode
Custom LED groups: coordinate several LEDs into a single sequence to build your own light bar or chase effect
Modes / scenes: save a full configuration (race, pit…) and recall it with a single tap
Landscape mode across the whole app (full-width screen, navigation bar hidden)
Persistent notification and floating bubble: control headlights, fog and custom LEDs without opening the app

🔧 Improvements

Firmware version check on connection: the app warns you if the board is out of date
Fully redrawn icons (crisp SVG on every screen)
Website: new Features page, expanded FAQ and 2 blog tutorials (custom light bar, standalone show)

🐛 Bug fixes

Input fields that stayed hidden behind the keyboard: the page now scrolls up automatically
A custom LED added to a group no longer appears twice in the Control tab
Triggerable groups now appear in the notification and the floating bubble
v1.1.1May 2026What's new

✨ New

Quick Control tab: control headlights, fog lights, light bar and custom LEDs from your phone, with a 'headlight flash' button
Light startup effects (LED, Halogen, Xenon, Neon) on headlights, fog and custom LEDs, with realistic turn-off animations per bulb type
Engine idle: subtle headlight flicker at neutral (combinable with an effect)
False-reverse protection: avoids accidental reverse-light triggers (brake → neutral → brake)

🔧 Improvements

Smooth (PWM) light bar with 4 modes and softer idle breathing
Settings reorganized into collapsible sections by family (clearer)
'Reflash your board' reminder after a firmware update + version number shown in About
Improved contrast and readability (app and website), new article and FAQ about the LED/effect limit

🐛 Bug fixes

Much more reliable board ↔ app sync: all settings load correctly
Fixed fog and headlight fade-out (no longer cuts abruptly)
Deleting a custom LED is now reliable
v1.1.0May 2026What's new

✨ New

Custom LEDs: up to 10 configurable LEDs (blink, sequences, CH3-channel trigger (suspended)), linked to an existing effect or fully custom
Automatic app ↔ car sync: on connection, the app loads every setting actually stored on the board
Light bar: a custom LED can follow a specific bulb (red/blue, left/right)

🔧 Improvements

More reliable and accurate RC signal calibration
Corrected wiring diagrams (fog lights and light bar), tailored to each board

🐛 Bug fixes

Light bar that could stop working after changing a pin
Flame effect settings now properly synced between app and car
Custom LEDs now stop properly after a reset
Fixed a display glitch when switching tabs
