How do I define the brightness in a yaml file? Google fu said something about layout section, but when looking for a layout section in the documentation it only mentions: “Needs to be done” which is not really helpful LOL.
Just add brightness: <0-255> to your layout section in the project file where the value is 0 (off) to 255 (full)
That would be terrific, alas, when I try that (remember, there is little to no documentation) bp barfs.
Here is the code and the error message:
`layout:
brightness: 10
shape: [32, 8]
driver:
c_order: BGR
gamma: [1.1, 0.5, 0]
ledtype: WS2812B
typename: serial
device_id: 0
brightness: 10
run:
fps: 10
animation:
typename: $bpa.matrix.Mainframe

I hope that makes sense
Belay that. That was a brainfart of mine. Apparently I still have something in the file that was not supposed to be there. I took the brightness statement out from the driver section and put it into layout and now it works.
Thanks for the help!
