emonGLCD backlight is on all the time

Submitted by rjcollingham on Mon, 13/05/2013 - 08:13

Hi, my emontx/emonGLCD have been running great for a couple of weeks now. I noticed that the backlight is on all the time. I am running the standard Solar PV sketch and it should dim after 10pm.

Could it be a soldering issue?

Thanks

Russell

Are you sure you're not just checking it too soon?

It should actually go off completely at 11pm (hour > 22). Nothing special happens at 10pm but the brightness should adjust all the time when the backlight is on in response to the light level detected by the LDR.

Thanks, I'll check when back home. I read the sketch as hour >= 22, but what you say would make more sense!
