Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:58:13 -0700 The the ability to configure the fade in/fade out delays to the detail that the PWM code has on the supported targets is not possible on every device due to hardware implementation limitations. The Gigabeat F/X is an example that without a large CPU time cost we cannot configure the delay to be shorter while maintaining a smooth fade transistion. To increase the speed beyond what it is at now (while maintaining a smooth step size) would require an increase to the tick rate or multiple i2c writes in one tick. Removing some of the configurabilty would be a benefit in terms of cross device option consistency while keeping the penalty to performance low. -Karl On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 11:16 AM, Dominik Riebeling < dominik.riebeling_at_gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 6:02 PM, Thomas Martitz > <thomas.martitz_at_fhtw-berlin.de> wrote: > > Personally, I cannot speak for the former one, but during the discussion > it > > was pointed out that the current defaults are sufficient and just fine, > > providing a decent fading, and don't need further configurability. > > I completely disagree.
