Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
Good afternoon!
I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time now and have not had any success. I am trying to adjust the permanent brightness level of my LEDs. I went into Sectional Map Settings and changed the "High Level" to 30. I tried several values between 0 and 255 and noticed no change. Does that mean my lights are just not dimmable? Or is this user error?
These are the lights that I have installed in my map: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AU6UG70/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Thank you!
Update: After further messing around with the settings, I noticed that if I manually adjust each color in the "LED Color Settings", I can force it to be dimmer. For example, VFR's default color value is (0,255,0), but I can make it dimmer by changing the color to (0,30,0). Do I really have to do this for every one?
No, you shouldn't have to. The brightness is not linear though. In otherwords, 128 is not half as bright as 255. So the closer to 0 you get, the dimmer it should be. BTW: Are you using an ambient light sensor? - Mark
