Automated brightness control for the Raspberry Pi

By martinm, in DIY and Programming, july 27,2018.

Among the accessories available for the Raspberry Pi, the TFT touch display is quite interesting. By combining it with a dedicated enclosure, one gets a tiny all-in-one computer, well suited to monitor various sensors.
