Hi all,
not sure if this is my code, FastLED, or APA 102c problem, but I found out that assigning the lowest color value (0x01) to any pixel my led strip is still shows as black. Values above that seem to work fine. Anyone had similar issues?

It’s FastLED. It’s sort of a known-issue that arises from the way we implemented master brightness control; everything is sent to the LED strip at basically one unit below the value in the Arduino RAM buffer. @Daniel_Garcia and I have ideas about how to get after this, but for now, just +1 everything to get back the value you want.

I have one last place I need to work out the fix for this, then the problem should go away.

Thanks! I will modify my code accordingly.
