It was difficult to tell which layer the keyboard was operating in since the color LEDs were not changing color like I expected. In the previous build, there were only two layers, and that made the color changing work, despite some flaws. In this version, the flawed code would not do anything except turn green. The problem was due to some math where integers were being divided and recorded in a float. Unfortunately, the integer math always resulted in whole numbers, and since I was trying to get a number between zero and one, the result was truncated. Once I translated the integers to floats, the result was predictable and usable, and that resulted in a spectrum of colors when the layer was changed.
Once the color changes worked with the layers, the spectrum was expanded so that a more expressive display of colors was seen. This was so that the difference between modes was more noticeable and more mixing was done instead of displaying solid colors. The animation above shows the old range, green, red, and purple. The image below shows how it goes beyond blue, to reach purple, which would never have been seen in the previous revision.
