fbdraw Carousel Example

This example demonstrates how to use the fbdraw carousel API to create a rotating display with multiple screens, each updating at its own frame rate.

Key Features Demonstrated

1. Multiple Display Types: The example tries to auto-detect a framebuffer, falling back to terminal display if not available.

2. Different Frame Rates: Each screen updates at its own rate:

   • System Status: 15 FPS (smooth animations)
   • Network Monitor: 10 FPS (moderate updates)
   • Process List: 1 FPS (slow changing data)

3. GridWriter API: Shows various drawing operations:

   • MoveAbs() for absolute positioning
   • Move() for relative movement
   • DrawMeter() for progress bars with automatic coloring
   • SetColor(), SetWeight() for styling

4. Carousel Management: The carousel automatically:

   • Rotates screens every 10 seconds
   • Manages frame timing for each screen
   • Only renders the active screen

5. Animation: The system status screen demonstrates smooth animation using frame counting and sine waves.
