Documentation error about RMT_symbol
Drawing of bit levels should not be in lsb positions of words but in msb positions According to rmt_types.h
It seems that level bits are msb and not lsb
/**
* @brief The layout of RMT symbol stored in memory, which is decided by the hardware design
*/
typedef union {
struct {
uint16_t duration0 : 15; /*!< Duration of level0 */
uint16_t level0 : 1; /*!< Level of the first part */
uint16_t duration1 : 15; /*!< Duration of level1 */
uint16_t level1 : 1; /*!< Level of the second part */
};
uint32_t val; /*!< Equivalent unsigned value for the RMT symbol */
} rmt_symbol_word_t;

According to esp32_technical_reference_manual_en
Level bits are msb bits

That diagram is technically correct (the best kind of correct), but it certainly is misleading. If you look at the numbers at the top, you can see that the bits are labeled with the LSB on the left rather than on the right; this deviates from the standard convention to describe hardware things. I'll see if we can change this around. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
