Control of a single addressable LED (WS2812) using the RMT Peripheral of the ESP32
This library is created with the intention of controlling an status LED using the RMT Peripheral. This takes care of the timing and the pulses that the addressable LED requires for its communication protocol.
The RMT_LED Class requires only the Number of the Pin where the LED is connected to.
The library provides a number of Presets that can be used and modified by the user: RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE and CLEAR. There are also 3 USER_PRESETs which the user can set using the setPreset function.
The user can also set colors using their RGB values. However,using the RGB values (extensively) can have a negative impact on performance, as the data array for the RMT has to be recalculated.
It is possible to set a maximum brightness level (0 - 255) by using the argument in the constructor.
Just copy the library into your source files, or if using PlatformIO, add the URL to the Github Repository to your platformio.ini file.
