Hi,
I got a question about adjusting the brightness of my ws2812b ledstrip with FastLED's beatsin8. I want to make the ledstrip brighter and dimmer with beatsin8. I have tried multiple things but nothing seems to work. While searching for answers I found this code. The only problem is that this code uses a gradient color palette but I just want to do it with a solid colored strip. I am not that experienced with FastLED, so I hope someone could help me!
R,G,B,
255,0,0 is red.
What's 5,0,0? Red but how bright?
Hi,
thank you for the response. For some reason I forgot you could adjust the brightness with with the RGB values. This is my code now and it runs perfectly! Thank you so much!
#include <FastLED.h>
#define NUM_LEDS 99
#define LED_PIN 20
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
void setup() {
FastLED.addLeds<WS2812B, LED_PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
FastLED.setMaxPowerInVoltsAndMilliamps(5, 500);
FastLED.setBrightness(60);
}
void loop() {
uint8_t sinBeat = beatsin8(30, 50, 255, 0, 0);
fill_solid(leds, NUM_LEDS, CRGB(sinBeat,0,0));
FastLED.show();
}
Coolies.
Here is the code I use to do the LEDstrip thing, perhaps it can give a few ideas.
