### Code

```python
"""
Pico Slice 1 - RGB Mixer
Tutorial 5 - Gamma Correction
"""

import time
import board
from pwmio import PWMOut
from analogio import AnalogIn

# A funcion to handle gamma correction
def Gamma_Correct (linear_input):
    gamma = 3
    maximum = 65535
    output = int(((linear_input/maximum)**gamma)*maximum)
    return output

# Represent the Pot in code as an AnalogIn object.
r_pot = AnalogIn(board.A2)

# Represent the Red LED as a PWMOut object.
r_led = PWMOut(board.GP2, duty_cycle=0, frequency=5000, variable_frequency=False)


while True:                                     # Loop Forever:
    input_val = r_pot.value                         # Read the potentiometer's current value (16-bit)
    r_led.duty_cycle = Gamma_Correct(input_val)     # Set the red LED's duty-cycle (16-bit) to the gamma corrected pot value
    time.sleep(0.1)                                 # Do nothing for 100 milliseconds

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.breadstick.ca/breadstick/pico-slices/slice-1-led-mixer/circuitpython-code/5-gamma-correction.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
