Field notes

The system separates the robot-side HitLib library, the Pattern Studio desktop editor, and physical LED strip kits. Pattern Studio can deploy generated headers into a PROS project's include/ directory and accepts six listed audio formats, including MIDI. The page also documents telemetry displays that divide one strand into six motor-temperature gauges, alongside multi-strand animation and music-sync workflows.
