Uni-t UT61E backlight
« on: July 27, 2015, 04:19:51 AM »
OK I've been searching and searching but I can't find a simple tutorial to add backlight to the UT61E.
Enough videos on YouTube without any explanation, service packs that involve adding silicone to the meter and add much more features than I want, but not a simple description of how to add a push button for switching backlight on/off.
Where do I get my voltage from? Which pin on the chip is for controlling backlight?
I can't read (complex) schematics so "check the service manual" is not going to work for me.
I only have basic knowledge of electronics and know how to solder the LED's but that's as far as it goes.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the overwhelming response.
Figured it out myself and added a touch switch.
