calculate_max_brightness_for_power_mW() [2/2]

fl::u8 calculate_max_brightness_for_power_mW	(	fl::u8	target_brightness,
		fl::u32	max_power_mW )

Determines the highest brightness level you can use and still stay under the specified power budget for all sets of LEDs.

Unlike the other internal power functions which use a pointer to a specific set of LED data, this function uses the CFastLED linked list of LED controllers and their attached data.

Parameters

target_brightness	the brightness you'd ideally like to use
max_power_mW	the max power draw desired, in milliwatts

Returns

a limited brightness value. No higher than the target brightness, but may be lower depending on the power limit.
