The `WavepoolEffect` plugin makes waves of light splash out from each keypress.
When idle, it will also simulate gentle rainfall on the keyboard.
## Using the plugin
To use the plugin, one needs to include the header and select the effect.
```c++
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
#include <Kaleidoscope-LED-Wavepool.h>
void setup (){
Kaleidoscope.use(&WavepoolEffect);
Kaleidoscope.setup();
WavepoolEffect.idle_timeout = 5000; // 5 seconds
WavepoolEffect.activate();
}
```
It is recommended to place the activation of the plugin (the `USE_PLUGINS` call)
as early as possible, so the plugin can catch all relevant key presses.
## Plugin methods
The plugin provides the `WavepoolEffect` object, which has the following
properties:
### `.idle_timeout`
> When to keys are being pressed, light will periodically splash across
> the keyboard. This value sets the delay in ms before that starts.
>
> To disable the idle animation entirely, set this to 0.
>
> Default is 5000 (5 seconds).
