I dug into some of my old code to retrieve the part that generated pseudo-random notes, and it didn't match what was in my head. The version I kept mentally was sleek and easily controlled, but the version I wrote years ago didn't meet that elegance. I plan to rewrite a streamlined version for this project.
EWC pseudo code
I replaced Adafruit's buggy OLED library with GuyverOLED, but it has different issues. Before, I had trouble uploading code because it would say that the display failed to boot, but now I get a warning that my dynamic memory is low and could cause stability issues.
New library, new problems
I fought with the memory issues more and found that the new display library takes over sixty percent, so I'll have to be stingy with the rest of the code. I started a new function that will test if one note is compatible with the next, but I ran out of time and alertness before finishing.
Function to calculate loop COMPATIBILITY
I went around and around to fix the compatibility checker. I thought there were three circumstances I needed to check regarding the presence or absence of negative integers, but I was confusing myself. There was only one integral equation and check. I confirmed the efficacy of the function in serial output that flagged the loopable arrangements.
Compatibility checker working
I am planning for V2.0 of the instrument panel. There were a few things I didn't like about the interface, like cycling through instruments one at a time with push buttons was cumbersome, but a rotary encoder should streamline that procedure. I made new button overlays to match.
Updated button overlays
I used a switch() function to display my chord names and assign corresponding values to an array for easy access later. If I'm lucky, I can apply this technique to the instrument names and save memory, which is running low.
