Adjustable brightness for connected grids

[jlmitch5]

I am currently on a plane, and I brought my Norns and grid along to keep me company on the flight. I learned that the grid was a bit bright, and I am a little self conscious to use it as it might disturb other passengers near me.

Would be cool if there was a way to adjust brightness. Not sure if it would be possible to do so and still maintain the same 15 levels of granularity.

this is possible. grids have an overall brightness setting which is not associated with the 25 steps. trying to figure out where that would go in the ui

Is there a way to send a serialosc command from lua (maiden)? (then you could just set it from a script)

And would it be the following command here?

pattern:	/prefix/led/intensity i
desc:		set intensity for entire grid
args:		i = intensity (0-15)
serial:		[0x17, i]

[catfact]

norns doesnt use serialosc, it uses libmonome, but we can easily add intensity command to grid device layer

and @okyeron yeah i agree - first step to just expose this to lua layer, doesn't need to be blocked by UI considerations

[okyeron]

Aha. For my own curiousity - where (in what file) does that libmonome communication with grid devices happen? (I'm interested in tracking down some libmonome errors I get sometimes from my DIY grid)

Great. Thank you. That's where I was looking, but wanted to be sure.

implemented in v2.2.3

no menu UI yet, but other issue addresses that
