Hi,
I have a python script. This script draw 2 buttons on display, when a button is pressed the script send some data on a socket.

There is a way to turn off the backlight after some second of inactivity and then turn it on when someone touch the screen?

Thanks

Fabio

It's certainly possible to turn off the backlight with a python script (I'll post a link to my code later today).

You'll just need to add some code to check for inactivity e.g. compare time now with time of last button press.

Have a look at this http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/viewto ... 99#p506081
