Ben Gunnels developed an end-to-end LED matrix control example for the lf-lang/playground-lingua-franca repository, targeting the Raspberry Pi Pico. He designed a complete demonstration package that integrates a Lingua Franca program with C source files for LED control and remapping, as well as PIO assembly to achieve precise WS2812 timing. By introducing a modal model, Ben enabled management of multiple LED animations, supporting rapid prototyping and showcasing embedded real-time systems. His work included thorough documentation with hardware setup and usage instructions, reflecting a deep understanding of embedded systems development, microcontroller programming, and the integration of C and Assembly in real-world applications.
