Changed Dashboard code. Implemented 3 LED brightness modes (brightness levels in header file), cycled through by LED dimmer button. Lowered brightness of seven segment through pseudo PWM. Cycled between on and off at high frequency.
Testing Description
Cycled through dimmer modes using a timer, and examined the effect on backup dashboard. Initially tested on dimmable lights, then tested 7 segment PWMing. There was a limit to how fast 7 segment can be switched on and off, so used mills() instead of micros().
Additional Information
Used mills() function because there's a limit to how fast you can switch 7 segment on and off.
