How UpdateIdle() Works Right Now
CRGB pattern

## there are many other details
the strip copy function then copies that to the LEDs
for example, drawing is bounded by a conditional that seems to govern the speed of drawing animation frames
I think this function is the key item to play with.
when we have gone through a single cycle of frames, we increase a count of the number of times we have run the full idle animation
``` void UpdatePattern() { pattern[0] = colorSets[colorPalette][pixelA]; pattern[1] = colorSets[colorPalette][pixelB]; pattern[2] = colorSets[colorPalette][pixelC]; } ```
But for
Stay on Target
## This is very silly
here we have the three indexes, and we are drawing directly to pattern by looking up colors with those in
but I don't want to get sidetracked trying to fix the novice code I wrote seven years ago while in a fugue state
# hey it worked!
instead, for now, let's just try to make an in place replacement of the color set

that way, we can have full brightness colors defined, and use dynamic brightness setting in the show function.

And we can draw colors from the palettes that we have already defined.
