/// We will draw a linear ramp between APA102HD which does it's

/// In this example we compare two strips of LEDs.

/// own gamma correction at the driver level, and the software

/// One strip is in HD mode, the other is in software gamma mode.

/// version of gamma correction, which used to be the status quo.

|
||||||
/// Why do we love gamma correction? It produces a better picture
|
/// Each strip is a linear ramp of brightnesses, from 0 to 255.
|
||||||
/// that matches how our eye sees light. It's the standard lighting
|
/// Showcasing all the different brightnesses.
|
||||||
/// method for your monitor or TVs for example and gives these

/// devices the range to produce very bright and very dim lights.

/// Why do we love gamma correction? Gamma correction more closely

/// @example Apa102HD.ino
|
/// matches how humans see light. Led values are measured in fractions
|

|
/// of max power output (1/255, 2/255, etc.), while humans see light
|
||||||
|
/// in a logarithmic way. Gamma correction converts to this eye friendly
|

|
/// curve. Gamma correction wants a LED with a high bit depth. The APA102
|
||||||
|
/// gives us the standard 3 components (red, green, blue) with 8 bits each, it
|

|
/// *also* has a 5 bit brightness component. This gives us a total of 13 bits,
