RNS 510 light sensor
« on: March 21, 2015, 08:32:09 pm »
Good evening all,

Is there anyway to deactivate the light sensor (located on the top right corner) on the RNS 510?

I want the manual brightness settings chosen in the set up menu to take full and final priority without the light sensor overriding and dimming the screen.

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

If you fancy taking it apart you could do it, I have no idea if it could be done via custom firmware

Opening it up.... Well ideally no I wouldn't want to do that. Nonetheless, how would I do it if that's the only route to go down? Cheers

I guess it's just using a LDR so desoldering and placing a 5k resistor there should do it?

Sounds like a good idea... However, it also sounds just a bit too scary for me  :scared: definitely not something I'll be able to do :driver:
