-# WS2812 driver gateware for blinkenwall v3
-
-At 100 FPS, a single strand of WS2812 can only be just over 300 LEDs long:
-
-```
-MAX_LENGTH = (1 / FPS - RESET_TIME) / BIT_TIME / BITS_PER_PIXEL
-318 = (1 / 100 - 50e-6) / 1.3e-6 / 24
-```
-
-Because blinkenwall v3 has `64 * 96 = 6144` pixels, driving it at 100 FPS requires at least
-`6144 / 318 = 20` parallel drivers. For simplicity, the wall is devided into 24 strands of
-256 LEDs. Unfortunately, most microcontrollers have at most a couple WS2812-capable interfaces
-(typically SPI), so this would require coordinating several microcontrollers in parallel. A
-much more integrated solution is to instantiate as many WS2812 drivers as desired in an FPGA,
-then point the entire video firehose at the FPGA.
