quick question. can you programmatically turn off/on the backlight for the display hat mini?
the pin-out seems to imply gpio13 would do the trick, but I wanted to check before purchasing, as I already have a small display which does not have backlight control.
Yes, If it has a backlight pin you can turn it off. You can also adjust the brightness level via PWM.
thanks. is that support (brightness controll) in the python lib, or do I have to do it “manually”?
Have a look at this.
displayhatmini-python/pwm-backlight.py at main · pimoroni/displayhatmini-python (github.com)
perfect, thanks, that answers the question :-)
