Custom WLED Build for M5Stack Atom Lite with Animated Staircase Usermod (WLED 14.3)

This repository contains a custom WLED firmware build for the M5Stack Atom Lite, featuring specific hardware-related adjustments to optimize performance and compatibility. The primary modifications include a change in the LED pin and the button pin configurations to avoid hardware conflicts and enable the use of the USERMOD_ANIMATED_STAIRCASE feature.

Modifications

The key changes in this build are as follows:

• LEDPIN: Set to 27 to avoid conflict with the FLASH_CS pin (16).
• BTNPIN: Set to 39 for optimal button functionality.
• Feature: USERMOD_ANIMATED_STAIRCASE has been enabled to enhance the visual effects available on the device.

These adjustments were necessary to ensure that the LED functionality did not interfere with the flash memory operations on the M5Stack Atom Lite.
