**8x8 LED Matrix Question: Can you change the brightness for different LED'S?** Hello, I have been recently been tinkering with my 8x8 LED Matrix. I have progressed alot, but I have a question that I need answering. _Are you able to change the brightness for individual LED's?_ I thought it was possible, but I only knew how to change the whole matrix's brightness. If anyone could help, I would be very thankful. This question has been bugging me for awhile. Thanks. ~Arduino\_Lover813 ---

**We** don't know anything about **your** matrix, so the answer to > Are you able to change the brightness for individual LED's? must be a solid "no". ---
