Pin 8 Backlight on 3.5" Color TFT Touchscreen

Post by Steve44 »

Can you tell me if Pin 8 of the 320x480 8-Bit connector is supposed to be connected? I can't find it mentioned in the docs. -Thanks

Are you working with this product?

And are you trying to use it in 8-bit mode?

I'm not sure what you mean by "pin 8 backlight".

OK thanks I couldn't find a ref to it in my docs. It is pin 8 of the 8 bit header, marked 'Backlite'. I see it is either not connected or connected to a PWM channel. Thanks-
