Jack Gassett Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hello, There was not enough pins left over to provide control over the backlight unfortunately. If you want to turn it off you will need to do it manually. The last two pins 15 and 16 of the LCD are for the backlight, if you unscrew the LCD and bend those two pins up so they are not inserted into the socket that should disable the backlight... Jack.

Jack Gassett Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 You could also wire a switch inline between either pin 15 or 16 so that you can disconnect the backlight. You could put the switch on the prototyping area on the board... Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
