Brightness adjustment.

[Just-another-pleb]

Without wanting to make it too complicated:

4 (5 actually?) levels of "brightness" for the LED.
I'll pick 4 as I am trying to keep it practical and a base of 2 (to maybe help with byte optimisation)
8 would be too many.
2 would be a bit too few.
4 seems like a good choice.

Levels would be (something like):
5 - FULL
4 - NOT QUITE FULL
3 - MEDIUM
2 - NOT SO DULL
1 - DULL
0 - OFF

Names are nominal. Just to explain for people to get the idea.

I know LEDs are usually ON/OFF indications.
But sometimes it may be nice to have different brightnesses. (?)

Either for dark screens/modes or to act as a progress indicator with how bright the LED is.

I know this could be done with colours. But sticking to their names: (eg)
red, green, blue, lime, yellow, (etc)
you send a message with the brightness of the LED.
FULL/MAXIMUM is the default.

Only a suggestion.

Hey @Just-another-pleb !
Thanks again for the suggestion! I understand where you're coming from and how this would be a great visual indicator.

My initial reactions are:

• this is really specific, prescribed behavior that we should do a generalization thought experiment pass on to see if there is value at that level (potentially a way to map ranges of values to a range of colors rather than discretely like we have right now)
• adding a color manipulation library as a direct dependency for this specific, prescribed behavior that only some will use seems weighty
  • perhaps instead we can come up with or leverage a set of tools for integrating any color manipulation library, or any other source, and leave it up to the user, maybe this comes from our top point ^

Does that make sense?
