Me Here dec6c61fce PM_K-1 firmware Phase 1: VARASYS logo, MIDI/USB status icons, square/outline beats, beat gridlines, stopwatch + bar counter
Device screen redesign (CircuitPython app.py), built proportional to WIDTH/HEIGHT
so it scales to other panels (one adaptive firmware, per-panel config — not a fork):

- gen_assets.py bakes logo.bin (VARASYS wordmark, no tagline), midi.bin (DIN-5),
  usb.bin (trident) as 4-bit-alpha bitmaps (same packing as the fonts).
- Header: VARASYS logo (brand cyan) replaces the "PM_K-1 KIT" text; MIDI icon goes
  green when a host is listening, USB icon lights when supervisor.runtime.usb_connected.
  load_alpha/make_glyph are non-fatal — a missing .bin falls back to text, never a
  black screen (addresses the corrupt-file failure mode we just hit).
- Pad grid: filled squares on main beats, hollow outline squares (outer+inner rect) on
  off-beats; playhead fills the lit pad. Vertical gridlines at the master lane's beats
  (full height) so beats line up across lanes.
- Stopwatch (m:ss) + bar counter (master-lane cycles), refreshed ~4x/s only on change.

The .bin assets ship in the drive bundle (the A/B updater only pushes app.py), so a
one-time re-copy is needed to pick them up. APP_VERSION -> 0.0.2.

# VARASYS PolyMeter - PM_K-1 "Kit" firmware (CircuitPython edition)
# Raspberry Pi Pico (Pico / Pico W / Pico 2) on the 52Pi EP-0172 "Pico Breadboard Kit Plus":
# 3.5" ST7796 320x480 cap-touch (GT911), PSP joystick, WS2812 RGB, buzzer, 2 buttons.
#
# WHY CIRCUITPYTHON: the board then mounts as a USB drive (CIRCUITPY) carrying this code, your
# tracks (programs.json) and a copy of the editor - edit on the web, "Save to device" writes
# programs.json here, and CircuitPython auto-reloads with the new grooves. It also sends USB-MIDI
# (a note per click) so the web editor can play it out the computer's speakers ("Device audio").
# Runs the SAME program strings as metronome.varasys.io.
#
# INSTALL: flash CircuitPython (https://circuitpython.org/board/raspberry_pi_pico/), then copy
# this file as code.py plus programs.json onto the CIRCUITPY drive. It runs on boot.
#
# Fallback: the simpler MicroPython firmware (pico/main.py) is always available - BOOTSEL +
# drag a MicroPython .uf2 to go back. The Pico cannot be bricked.
#
# Untested-panel notes & calibration flags are in CONFIG + pico-cp/README.md.
