More than 8ch about dimmable-light HOT 27 CLOSED

Technically there is no limit (leaving out the memory and pins) to the number of dimmers.

Just change the "soft" limit to the desired value here:

and here:

I have never tested more than 8 dimmers, so I didn't want to document what it is not tested. However, if you have succeeded, I will add a note and eventually I can add an easier way to increment the max number of dimmers.

I have to run some extra tests, but the test above seems to run good now. I raised the number of maximum lights to 12 by adjusting static const uint8_t N = 8; to 12 on line 91 in thrystor.h

would be great to know if this limit could be increased to 16. I am using Arduino Mega and was hoping to get up to 16 dimmers. not sure if anyone has tried increasing to this max number...?

Glad to hear that. Maybe it is worth adding this in a comment so when others look at the limitation, they are going to be less concerned with making a change. Or perhaps maybe make it adjustable at the compile time?

I have cloned the repo anyway as I think I might need to also be able to retrieve the pin number from the thyristor class. This is handy when I have an array of dimmers.
