All right, that one good news ! :)
-> I was currently disconnecting the battery when connecting over USB but it seemed I could control the leds "ok" ( but maybe not as reliabiliy as when running everything off the battery ;p )
I'm currently working on how to optimise the leds/leds strip chunks so that I have the shortest non-crossing traces across the board ( I'm quite afraid using short wires 'll be quite hard since it'd unsolder one end while solderng the other due to heat .. I experienced that when joining two strip with a wire between both .. )
I plan to try two different approaches:- 1st: "Pyralux" flexible pcb for proto ( or cheaper flexible fab pcb ? )
- 2nd non-flexible pcbS ( as "sections" soldered together to form the circuit )
The ability to get two layers flexible boards 'd be awesome ;p
Ps: do you think I may have killed the last led on the strip by getting electrically shocked by touching it or is it just some code-side pb ? ( fact is: I tried loading previous versions of my code: still same trouble with the last one, aside from the scheduling maybe not as fast as expected & my test patterns not doing correctly .. yup, I have some mess to fix .. ) or would it come from me controlling leds powered via bat+ pin & no battery while connecting over usb ? :| .. ( I'm not sure how to test if an APA102 is dead or not, aside from directly connecting to it & sending controls to it only - thus this 'd mean a crack in the strip connection, which I doubt since it's not where I joined chuncks .. )
-> I'll check that once done with my mapping problems ;)
ps: do you / does anyone have any knowledge / experience with "breadth-first search" & the TSP problem ? ( I could really get some help on either writing or modding an Illustrator plugin to do some related stuff .. )
thanks for the hints :)

Back with an alpha ( some things doesn't work as they should, and I'm still missing the finalized data ( timed mouth indices & mouths data ) ), but it's cleaner than previously ;)
also, I managed to wreck my code somehow somewhere & now I can't control the last led any more :|
if anyone's feeling brave enough to visually troubleshoot, be my guest ;)
( as always, I'll do so after some rest ;) )this being said, the pre-pre-pre-alpha code

Hi there !
back on this project ;p
-> I received the said charger/booster and 'll test the pullups pins stuff ;)
-> I also had answers from the Adafruit support team, as such:forget about voltage boosting and associated limitations and inefficiencies. You are better off powering both processor and pixels direct from your battery pack. We regularly run Neopixels and Dotstars directly from 3.7v LiPos
https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=147139.
So, before trying the said pullup thing, I have to try powering ~40 leds fully bright from one ( or more in parallel ? ) 3.7V 18650 batteries & powering an original Espruino board ( maybe later a Pico but I no longer have any handy ; ) ), yet for programming/flashing/debug reasons, I wish to be able to keep the USB connection to the laptop.
I currently disconnect the battery jst connector when being connected using USB while the leds are getting power from the 3.7V battery & no problem has rosen yet, but I'm wondering how the board would react if I were to keep both USB and battery on JST connected ( the leds are getting power directly from the battery, not from the Bat pin, when usb is connected or not )
Also, it seems I couldn't talk to the board when putting a 1000uF 16V cap across the battery power source & Gnd ? ( the board was recognized, but I couldn't get a working serial comm, even when using an external ftdi adapter & trying on hardware serial ports .. ( espruino original ) .. may it come from CTS/DTR left unconnected ? I'll have to try using bluetooth .. )This being said, I'm onto modding my current code to try the said ~40 leds, hoping I can have them 'blinking in sync' & last longer at least a minute ..
ps: mode 0 seems to work reliably on my current setup, big thanks for the hint ;)
last but not least, would you advise using external pullups when running off 3.7V & controlling 3.7V-powered leds ( without opendrain since no more needed ? I wonder how to fasten the said "voltage swing" .. )
-> I'll see if I can adapt some "rainbow scrolleré onto those as a test ;p

Hi there !
'll be back on the subject later this week ( I hope :) ), although I've just added the "partial flip" we talked about aside a little benchmarking on the subject ( see http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/269808/#comment14607110)

hello :)
thanks for the hints ! ;)
I'll have a try on this subject later today & 'll come back with the result

hi there !
got it ;p
For my early tests, it seems the benefits of line by line VS 16 of them is ok unless area modified is bigger than LCD_WIDTH/2 ( or a little more ).
Also, I currently have no idea of how to optimize this using either inlineC or "compiled" :/ ( or just another way to do it in js )
I stumbled upon this topic, but not sure at all if & which concepts could be useful here ..
This being said, porting this to oled screens instead of colored ones may get quite handy for even faster updates :DAlso, as a side subject, any idea of a hack to allow stuff already on screen of color other than black ( for ex ) to be all set to a particular color ?
this being said, here's the code for partial flip :D

Hi there !
I had a quick take on getting that partial flip thing to work, but for a reason I can't figure out ( I'm either too dumb, tired, or both ;p ) I can't make it work for only a vertical portion of the screen ( smaller than LCD_WIDTH )
any quick hint on this ?
