The faders are motorised and move to the stored value after selection, currently set up for RGB colour values. It's programmed in CircuitPython. The motor driver is a @pimoroni.com Motor 2040 and is handling all the inputs and outputs.

Couldn't sleep last night, head full of ideas, so did a late coding session converting the clipLine routine from C to asm. There was a bug I couldn't fix, so slept on it and identified it straight away this morning. I can now start on clipping filled triangles now clipLine is in the asm domain.
