Brightness control PWM frequency?

Post by _valtsu_ »

Hi,

I'm planning to use Adafruit Feather board to control the screen brightness. What is the real PWM frequency to do that?
Raspberry Pi commands wont tell that straight away.

Thx!

Got this figured out. I was overthinking it.
Seems like the PWM signal is directly controlling the backlight probably with help of a MOSFET or similar, so you can use what ever frequency you like. Of cource frequency just needs to be high enough, that screen wont flicker.
