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
I just put my first map together and realized as I was assembling it that the the 3 pin light sensor that I used (from here) delivers binary output on DO pin, and hence the brightness switches between two discrete values defined in the browser based UI. Would it be possible to convert this from a binary 2-levels-of-brightness to a gradient where based on the ambient light value, the brightness dynamically changes within lowest and highest limits? Or has someone already achieved this? Thanks.
When I first had the idea of using the light sensor I wanted to do the exact same thing you described. I quickly realized that the sensor would not provide the necessary information to do so. When I looked at other sensors that could do this they were quite a bit more money and needed to use comparator chips to provide the needed data and at the time I decided not to do it. Therefore the answer to your question is that the software is not written to handle this. But its something that I believe could be easily added in future releases. No promises, but it is on the list.
Be sure to post some pictures of your map. We love to see them. - Mark
I've had a lot of fun building this; thanks for making it seamless to work with!

Sweet map! Thanks for showing us. - Mark
