Potentiometer for variable control of blacklight intensity o

Post by ctangent »

I have the Pixel Qi 10.1” display and wanted to know if it was possible to add a separate physical control to change the brightness of the backlight? Currently, using the display board provided in the kit, I can disconnect the backlight to turn it off completely, or connect so it is on (and then I can only lower the brightness through the menu).

Is it possible to connect this backlight to a potentiometer? What would you recommend and are there any learning resources you would also recommend for taking these steps as I'm a newbie.

Thank you for your help!
