Hi, could someone write a code for me in which the leds are white and can be dimmed with a button? 25% 50% 75% and 100% brightness. Arduino Pro Micro pin 6, 14 leds

What type of LEDs are you using? RGB Led strip? (WS2811 or WS2812)

What did you try yourself so far?

To get white we would indeed need to define red, green and blue, for example:

strip.setPixelColor(Pixel, strip.Color(255, 255, 255));

(the errors mention: "red", "green" and "blue" as not defined)

To dim the white color, you can take different values, eg.

strip.setPixelColor(Pixel, strip.Color(100, 100, 100));

Hope this helps! 😊
