Animation File Format
The animation files are YAML format and can be edited with any text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, etc.)

time_unit_t
Text representation of a supported time unit. Support time units include:
| Valid Text Values | Canonical Value |
|---|---|
| 'ms', 'milliseconds' | milliseconds |
| 's', 'sec', 'second', 'seconds' | seconds |
| 's', 'sec', 'second', 'seconds' | seconds |
| 'm', 'min', 'minute', 'minutes' | minutes |
| 'h', 'hr', 'hour', 'hours' | hours |
| 'd', 'day', and 'days' | days |
network_id_t
uint value uniquely representing the controller on the network. These are burned into each controller during manufacturing and cannot be changed. You can usually find these in the controller's log file or its own animation files.
Cautions
Because the controller has limited resources it does not implement a full YAML parser. Most advanced YAML features are not available and it makes assumptions about how things are formatted. Do not modify the structure of the file even if it is syntactically the same according to the YAML standard.
