surreal tangle
Hi,
I have two 4 digit seven segments connected independently to an Arduino Mega. When I go to the Mobiflight modules I see both segments and the option to adjust the brightness. As much as I change the brightness levels, they always stay at the brightest. And yes, I upload each time the new configuration.
Thanks

Hi
If this is still relevant....
I never use this feature myself but i remember to a trsting years ago.
The Bright only change after a full reset of Arduino cause its done on the initialisation of the MAX7219 IC.
Whatever....
This is a feature from the early early days of Mobiflight !
I recommend to use the "Brightness reference" tool we build in 1 year ago.....
So you keep the Bright in the "Device -> Mobiflight Boards" Tab (Where you define the Pins) in Full Bright slider.....
And you manage the Bright within the Software.
In the Output Config you can select "Brightness Reference" and can choose for a existing Output Config.
This can be used to dim Displays with a Encoder oder by modes like Daytime/Nighttime.
But for sure you can also Hardcode it.
Create a Output Config that is called "7Seg Dim State" and use Transform e.g. 8
Means this config now always is "8".
If you use that config as Bright Reference then the used Display is now in Bright 8/15
You can set bright from 0 (Off) to 15 (Full)
