dimming #234

Open phenomeus opened 2 years ago

would be great to have a time window where we could dimm the Display Brightness to a value before the display shuts down completely.

kids love the clock already but its a little bright in a dark room when they go to sleep ;)

Just been looking into this, you could program in in the marquee.ino between the turn display on and off a section which could call the following command:

'matrix.setIntensity(0);'

Just set it for a number between 0 & 15 to adjust the brightness of the panels. Then at a certain time the display will turn off.

For example:

Turn display on 08:00 am

Dim display at 7:00pm

Turn display off 8:00pm
