Since neopixels use PWM for brightness instead of current, there’s no good way to adjust the brightness if using them as a notecard monitor. It would be nice if brightness were an option, such as {"req":"card.aux","mode":"neo-monitor","brightness":200} (in this example I’m imagining it’s a value from 0-255).
Hi @bencochran and welcome to the Blues community!
Setting the brightness of neopixels is actually an option in a card.aux request - it’s the sensitivity argument (we try to re-use argument names across APIs to keep the size of the firmware binary as small as possible, so sometimes they aren’t super obvious!).
Thanks,
Rob
Oh, so it is. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for the quick reply!
