How to control the display's backlight in the sketch?

OK guys I think I understood what you said :slight_smile: I think I will just remove the trimmer anyway, since I don't need both PWM and manual control.

But I'm confused: do I really need a resistor if I limit the PWM output to 3.3v (as in my code) ? Knowing that:

  • The 3.3V pin is rated 40mA max, same as the PWM outputs,
  • When the trimmer is "fully open", there is no resistor between the 3.3V pin and LED-A pin.

So I think I don't even need to add a resistor!

Sorry, I'm still newb to electronics :slight_smile:
