Dance size

A drone can only upload a certain amount of data (100 ko). Position, color, and fire changes in Blender are converted into events on the JSON file. The size of each event and their maximal frequency are presented in the table below:

Fire

24

With older versions of the Lightshow Creator, the Loader, and the autopilot, the event size was bigger.

The drone did not interpolate the color, which meant that during the export when the color followed a linear interpolation instead of using 2 color events, it used 24 color events per second.

With the new version, the drone can now interpolate colors which means that it uses much less color events.

The dance size should not be a problem anymore
