wizardRewrite of the pixel stack for #pixelblaze All 16 bit per element throughout. Tons more HDR LED options now, and have NS108 and WS2816 LEDs support. Here's a 2" x 2" ws2816 panel at 1% brightness, for example.
Some demo video of various patterns, even 1% brightness leaves plenty of color resolution and smooth fade to black.
Mmmmm fire
The NS108 is another HDR capable LED, driven here with 16 bits per element, 48 bit color. These are a bit brighter than the smaller ws2816, so shown here with 0.5% brightness and low exposure settings.
Here's the full range, on a slow gradient. Video can't capture how freaking bright this gets.
Aria Burrell 🇨🇦@wizard ooof knowing how these sorts of LEDs photograph, that's awesomely bright. Does that come with innovation in power requirements or just massive amounts more current draw? 😅
@litui lets just say the utility company loves me. ⚡️🤣
These ns108 have similar draw at the high end as other sk9822 / apa102 type LEDs but more range. Data sheet says about 19ma per element.

@wizard oh nice! Haha, yeah I didn't finish my vaporwave room setup before getting side-tracked, but the power requirements going around the room twice (and under the bed 😎 ) with 60/m ws2812b ended up being ridiculous. Doable, but ridiculous.
@wizard I answered your survey on a very singular and not very anonymous track, but come to think of it I would also add that it'd be nice to uncap (or at least set the cap higher) on the strip lengths even if it means lower framerates - for the most part the vaporwave room was just going to be solid colours anyway.
Anyway, I know the expander can manage more per channel even if the PB says it can't since I ended up using the expander with my new setup. =)
