P10 16x32 RGB 1/2 scan brightness control?

Hi there, folks!

I have a system using teensy 4.1 and a shield I produced based on the smartmatrix shield. It works perfectly with the 1/4 rgb matrix I use for years. This time, my supplier delivered a 1/2 scan matrix.

I was able to adapt the sketch to run stable in the 1/2 scan. My issue is the matrix.setBrightness doesn’t change anything on the LEDs. There is something I can tweak on the library to be able to use the brightness control on the matrix? Curiously the background brightness control works, but the results for the 2 commands are very different (using the 1/4scan boards), specially regarding the color management. And I’m having to tweak the color mapping for the other layers that doesn’t have setBrightness. Will be much easier to be able to use the matrix.setBrightness in the entire board.

Do you need more info about panel models to be able to help? Can I help you to help me?

Thanks!

I’m not an expert with SmartMatrix, but I don’t believe you should have to change anything in your sketch between a 1/2 scan and a 1/4 scan, other than the panel type.
