setting level on a non-varibrightness monome

general

    Hi, as mine is vari, can't test this out... Does someone with a non-vari know what happens when you send it level commands to change the brightness? Does it light up for values >= 1 or does it go half way (i.e. values >= 8)?

    thx

    it doesn't light up anything! the /level messages are filtered out by serialosc if the device doesn't understand them.

    in my patches i detect for whether a device is variable brightness with a patch of raja's (http://monome.org/docs/app:monomeprotocoljumper) and then have separate drawing commands depending on the model detected. it's a bit more work but means you can be much more specific about how the different models work.

    thanks for the reply... interesting, didn't know it was actually possible to detect if a device is vari. is that determined in the initial handshake?

    ah, ok, see the code in smallbatch. nice!
