I am using a 40 x 2 LCD on my development board and it has two solder = pads at one end. Are these for the LCD backlight ?. If so is it a DC or = AC drive and what voltages / currents are typical ?. Thanks a lot .... = sorry it is such a basic question ........ John -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
