Rainbow Ring V3 (SKU:DFR0141): Getting it brighter
kyoxilbuzz 2012-10-27 11:58:15 2424 Views2 Replies Hello DFrobot team,
on the rainbow ring, any reason why we are limited at 64 in brightness level?
i tried to play around with the code, but whatever i try, i can't get it as bright as i would like. Typically, i wish to reach the brightness that can be seen on D10 when you upload the sketch.
is the limitation due to current drawn? due to controller limits in power?
Thanks in advanced for your answers

thanks for the answer kyoxilbuzz
thanks for the answer

The brightness level is set to 64 because the designer made a conversion from 256 to 64, it actually is the same thing. But you only see it as 64, the reason is that 1-3 units of change were not enough for you to see a real visible change. so if you set it to 1 it's actually being set to 4, at 4 its actually set at 16, and so on.
Version 2 of the RGB ring is a bit dimmer than V3. In version 3 we changed some components to allow the LEDs to shine a bit brighter.
