single button change colour #35

There seems to be a problem with the change colour function in the single button config mode. When I try to change colour the blade does not light up at all except at the very tip, and it is usally a dull purple colour. However it can sometimes become a section of full bright red colour. After changing colour, switching the blade on, the colour becomes a really dull dirty looking light bluish colour not something you would like as a saber balde, and it gets stuck in that colour because going back to config mode to change colour does not work. I don't know this is specific to single button mode or not, as I have only tried the single button setup.

That's quite a bit similar to my current problem with Gravity Color. And I started to think that's a MPU6050 calibration issue. Maybe.

Most probably it is. Or maybe you do not see the "guide light" at the tip because you did not configure your blade length correctly. It's always the last 5 pixels which indicate the color to be added/deducted. But as a rule of thumb pointing with the blade tip upwards always adds green, downwards reduces green. I.e. you need to see a bright/less bright green color at the blade tip. If this is not the case then something is wrong on your end. The dirty whitish color is the default setting, it's a weak white with all three colors at 1/3 broightness roughly.
