Control brightness in Python API?

[cll]

The standard colors are quite… Blinding. I’d like to lower the brightness, which is possible in the command line tool. But I can’t find it anywhere in your Python API; Is there a plan to implement it? Or any workarounds? I’d like to half the brightness of all colors specifically.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Please take a look at this thread to find a Solution for brightness control:

Would is be possible to power LED strips using USB

Thanks @p0ke, that worked great! def goDarkBlue(): for bstick in blinkstick.find_all(): Brightness = 5 bstick.set_inverse(True) r,g,b = bstick._hex_to_rgb("#3F89FF") r = (Brightness / 100.0 * r) g = (Brightness / 100.0 * g) b = (Brightness / 100.0 * b) bstick.set_color(red=r, green=g, blue=b) return redirect("/") Is how I adapted your sample script. Thanks again.

I hope it helps

I made it work with that. Thanks!

Might be a little late but I personally like to work with HSL and HSV over RGB which gives me control of the brightness.

The colorsys package has some useful functions to convert RGB values.
