What is the output when running ddcctl -d 2 -i 15 Also, try ddcctl -d 2 -i 16

I think the Input Values that were contributed to the README are more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules. Seconding @itxchh 's suggestion to try some other numbers (but at your own risk). Welcome to ddcctl 🏴‍☠️!
