has some way to put the module to sleep, or actually turn off the backlight?battery consumption with the backlight on all the time does not allow use in portable devices. any tips to reduce consumption ?

Yes there is. Set the contrast level to 0 using the gfx_Contrast(0) shortcut function. This will actually turn off the display (Picaso will still be running).This is explained in section 2.6.41 gfx_Set(function, value) on page 118 of the PICASO-GFX2-Internal-4DGL-Functions doc.

Hi,

When the 32PT display is off, how can I turn it back on by touching the screen again?
Thank you.

The touch screen still works when the display is off (assuming it is enabled)
