release version v0.15
I just spent the better part of a day sniffing out what i thought was a voltage issue.. or maybe a chip issue (i haven’t used GS8206 or GS8208 much compared to WS2812..)… but as it turns out it was the automatic brightness limiter.
I don’t know if this was a recent default or if i just never encountered before, but IMHO this should not be a default but rather opt in.
Thoughts?
It’s a crude safety feature so I think having it default is a good idea and has been default as long as I know. Possibly from the beginning. It is a way to help protect people from starting fires, as most do not understand the need for; correct amperage rated power supplies, wire gauge, and protection fuses.
Many an ESP would die when powering LEDs through on-board LDO and many a house would’ve burned down if the ABL was not on by default.
ABL is there since the beginning of time.
