Brightness issues above 0.1

Open username223 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Thanks for the excellent crate.

0.6.0 is not available outside of the git repo even though the Github readme mentions it.

I'm not sure if any new features have been included since 0.5.0, I'm mainly after the updated rppal dependency to reduce compile time. :)

As an aside, is anything above 0.1 or so brightness supposed to be super bright? I've found that on the Pimoroni Fan Shim anything above 0.1 is ridiculously bright.

Thanks for the compliment! 0.6.0 is now available. I'll look into the brightness issue you mentioned. Brightness is converted to a 5-bit value, so there are only 32 possible settings available, but that should still give you a decent range between 0.0 and 1.0. It's been a while since I've worked with APA102s though. I'll have to check if it's just a hardware limitation. I do have a Pimoroni Fan Shim lying around as well, so I can at least try to reproduce it.
