hardware_manager module

Hardware Abstraction Layer for Circuit Playground Bluefruit.

This module provides a simplified interface to Circuit Playground hardware, abstracting NeoPixel control, audio output, and sensor access for UFO routines.

The hardware manager handles:

NeoPixel LED ring control and brightness management
Tone generation via piezo speaker
Hardware abstraction to simplify routine implementations
Battery-conscious default brightness settings

Classes:

HardwareManager: Hardware abstraction for Circuit Playground

Example

>>> hardware = HardwareManager()
>>> hardware.update_pixels_with_data(data, color_function)
>>> hardware.play_tone_if_enabled(440, 0.2, volume=1)
