Hi Carsten,
so if you can provide an updated patch... that'd be awesome :)
Sorry I am late :-(. I thought I send the last version version earlier
but I might have made a mistake. The last version of the patch includes
the following modifications
- fix some typo and some comments.
- the intensity is now set to be between (0,1) following Leif advise
- I suppressed the global variable _backlight and declared it inside all
three functions. It avoids a problem if the backlight atomic changes value.
