## The mystery of control registers for FM6126A chips
The only available Datasheet for this chips is in Chinese and does not shed a light on what those two control regs are.

So there are two regs - **REG1** and **REG1**,
So there are two regs in this chip - **REG1** and **REG2**,
one could be written with 12 clock pusles (and usually called reg12, dunno why :))
the other one could be written with 13 clock pusles (and usually called reg13, dunno why :))
the other one could be written with 13 clock pulses (and usually called reg13, dunno why :))
So I've done some measurmens on power consumption while toggling bits of **REG1** and it looks that it could provide a fine grained brighness control over matrix.
I've done some measurmens on power consumption while toggling bits of **REG1** and it looks that it could provide a fine grained brighness control over the entire matrix with no need for bitbanging over RGB or EO pins.
There are 6 bits (6 to 11) giving an increased brighness (compared to all-zeroes) and 4 bits (2-5) giving decreased brighness!!!
Still unclear if FM6112A brightness control is internally PWMed or current limited, might require some poking with oscilloscope.
So it seems that the most bright (and hungry for power) value is
bool REG1[16] = {0,0,0,0,0, 1,1,1,1,1,1, 0,0,0,0,0}; and not {0,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1} as it is usually used.

I'm not sure about bit 1 - it is either not used or I was unable to measure it's influence to brightness/power.
Giving at least 10 bits of hardware brightness control opens pretty nice options for offloading. Should dig into this more deeper.

Here are some of the measurments I've took for 2 64x64 panels filled with white color - reg value and corresponding current drain in amps.
|REG1 |bit value|Current, amps |
|--|--|--|
|REG1| 0111111 00000| >5 amps|

The value to pass 'setPanelBrightness' must be a value less than MATRIX_WIDTH. For example for a single 64x32 LED Matrix Module, a value less than 64. However, if you set the brightness too high, you may experience ghosting.
Also you may use method `setPanelBrightness8(x)`, where x is a uint8_t value between 0-255. Library will recalculate required brightness level depending on matrix width (mostly useful with FastLED-based sketches).
Example:
