V6 backlight

Post by karmutzen »

I've got pin 4 (dimmer) to 12v (aircraft power), expecting some kind of backlighting but there is none at all. Menu only does contrast. Any ideas? I'm trying for max backlighting - dark cockpit, bright sun, can't read the screen.

Backlight control has never been implemented on the V6. A pin on the connector was reserved for that function for possible use in the future.

Updated the V6 screen to the white lettering on black background LCD, $170. Wow, what an improvement!
