Brightness-Levels

Hello,
I have some questions concerning your RGB board. I decided to use it to dimm a white led stripe with 12v (<2a), your sample code works quite well. Concerning the brightness, your levels in the csample code are up to 255 max, but that is not the full brightness of the stripe. I tried to increase it to 1023 which also works well and saw the full brightness. Is this potentially harming the board/mosfets?

Kind regards
Anselm

Depending on the current the LED strips draw.

The MOSFET can handle 34A max but the pcb traces can’t handle this.
That’s why its limited to 6A in the specifications
