Thirteen states

Each runs at twelve frames a second. That is a style decision: the panel is meant to step visibly, the driver library could do far more. All of them are computed, not stored: one full frame would be 24 KB, a formula is two hundred bytes.

What this costs

One full frame: 24 KB
One second stored: 288 KB
The same second computed: ~200 B

That is why no frame sequence sits in flash. Each animation is a function that computes a frame from elapsed time.

Interruptible

Every animation has to be able to stop at any moment. Otherwise flight data waits behind a greeting, and the panel feels slow instead of alive.

if (frameReady) anim.cancel();

Reduced motion

There is no operating system on the device to report a preference. So it needs its own switch in the settings that cuts every animation down to its final state.
