INAV 7.1 based version of #9701
Rebasing at this stage is a nightmare.
This is a non-breaking change. So should not be a problem for 7.1
-- Original info from #9701
Increase the number of addressable LEDs from 32 to 128.
The extra 96 LEDs adds only 10560 B (5.37% on an F722) of RAM usage, and an extra 64 B (0.01% on F722) of Flash. If necessary, this could be changed so that it is only available on processors with > 512 KB flash.
Why so many LEDs? Why not? On larger aircraft, a single LED strip along a wing will have many chips. Here, for example is the tail boom extensions for a Drak.
Here's the CPU usage with the LEDs switched off.
Here's the CPU usage with 96 LEDs with a Larson scanner running.
