Configuration for white saber

[lmastrine]

Hi everyone, simple question:

I have a green, lime, white LED for a prizm 5.1. I would like the option of white saber for one of the color changes. I would make green L1, lime L2, white L3. So, to get a white blade color would the configuration be 1023 1023 1023?

Thanks

1023 is the maximum drive for your LED, so setting all three to max in your case will definitely not be white. It will likely be a shade of green. If you want it to be only white, make sure to set the white die to 1023 and if you want a hint of green, experiment with other values for a green die! Hope that helps!

You would have to set the Green and Lime Green to zero.

What about an rgb led ?

You can get a whitish glow out of RGB by running all 3 diodes on full. In neopixels you get a pinkish tint with that, and with in-hilts, I think there is a slight blue tint to the white.

I find if you do standard R/G/rB you get a pinkish white. When I do dR/G/rB it's a snowy silver and I love it. So I'd say max them/make them equal (battery save) and then lower the red as desired.
