I have assembled a six-panel DotStar Matrix and, while it works, I'm having trouble getting certain colors to show up when using HSV. Some basic colors show as expected (red, white) but others do not (green / magenta and others).

Code follows, then a picture of the result. I'm also seeing other weird behaviors - I have a script that cycles through hues, for example, and it is extremely "flashy" and will inexplicably go from blue to black to yellow while incrementing hue from 0 thru 65536. Decreasing Value also partially works, but also includes lots of flickering to black then back to a dimmer value.

So... I think there is a bug in the HSV color support for DotStar Matrices.

Picture of actual result:

Magenta and Green are not the correct colors given the hue.

• Arduino board: Adafruit ItsyBitsy

• Arduino IDE version 1.8

• I know I have the display brightness at only level 10. It's the same basic story at level 150, just exceptionally bright!

• The matrix is powered from a 5v 2A supply.

I tried pulling the library for DotStarMatrix from within the Arduino IDE, but it was not listed.

I do see the regular DotStar library (and all the other Adafruit libs) though.

Did I miss somethig?

• Arduino board: Huzzah Featherwig

• Arduino IDE version (found in Arduino -> About Arduino menu): 1.8.5

• List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach a sketch or
  copy the sketch code in too):

            1) Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries
            2) search for DotStarMatrix
  
            expected result: the DotStarMatrix library is listed 
            actual result: the DotStarMatrix is not listed
  

Thank you for opening an issue on an Adafruit Arduino library repository. To
improve the speed of resolution please review the following guidelines and
common troubleshooting steps below before creating the issue:

• Do not use GitHub issues for troubleshooting projects and issues. Instead use
  the forums at http://forums.adafruit.com to ask questions and troubleshoot why
  something isn't working as expected. In many cases the problem is a common issue
  that you will more quickly receive help from the forum community. GitHub issues
  are meant for known defects in the code. If you don't know if there is a defect
  in the code then start with troubleshooting on the forum first.

• If following a tutorial or guide be sure you didn't miss a step. Carefully
  check all of the steps and commands to run have been followed. Consult the
  forum if you're unsure or have questions about steps in a guide/tutorial.

• For Arduino projects check these very common issues to ensure they don't apply:

  • For uploading sketches or communicating with the board make sure you're using
    a USB data cable and not a USB charge-only cable. It is sometimes
    very hard to tell the difference between a data and charge cable! Try using the
    cable with other devices or swapping to another cable to confirm it is not
    the problem.

  • Be sure you are supplying adequate power to the board. Check the specs of
    your board and plug in an external power supply. In many cases just
    plugging a board into your computer is not enough to power it and other
    peripherals.

  • Double check all soldering joints and connections. Flakey connections
    cause many mysterious problems. See the guide to excellent soldering for examples of good solder joints.

  • Ensure you are using an official Arduino or Adafruit board. We can't
    guarantee a clone board will have the same functionality and work as expected
    with this code and don't support them.

If you're sure this issue is a defect in the code and checked the steps above
please fill in the following fields to provide enough troubleshooting information.
