DimBlade is used to reduce the brightness of a blade, usually to save battery.
DimBlade(percentage, blade_definition)
Note the use of () instead of <>, as DimBlade is a regular function, not a template. DimBlade will wrap a blade definition and reduce the brightness of the output. If percentage is 10.0, the blade will be 10% as bright, produce less heat and the battery will last longer.
Note that some effects, like clash will NOT be dimmed, which can make it stand out more than normal.
So for example, if you your blades array looks like this:
BladeConfig blades[] = {
{ 0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(), CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
};
Then here is how it would look with DimBlade():
BladeConfig blades[] = {
{ 0, DimBlade(50.0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >()),
CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
};
This would make your blade 50% as bright.
