screen brightness (backlight pwm)
Do we have a chance of implementing a backlight brightness control via PWM modulation, like this one here: https://ozzmaker.com/forums/topic/screen-brightness/
Tests done so far: I have the official V2 kit OzzMaker PiScreen 3.5' touch-display. I followed the steps in the link above and get to this point:
root@zynthian:~/pi-blaster# sudo ./pi-blaster 22
Using hardware: PWM
Number of channels: 1
PWM frequency: 100 Hz
PWM steps: 1000
Maximum period (100 %): 10000us
Minimum period (0.100%): 10us
pi-blaster: Page 0 not present (pfn 0xa1000000000624c0)
root@zynthian:~/pi-blaster#
Screen brightness doesn't change with the given commands (echo "0=.5" > /dev/pi-blaster, echo "0=1" > /dev/pi-blaster), it just stays at max. brightness.
