Has anyone done any experiments involving an automatic control for the Neo backlight? Other than the massive hole in NeoEdit which prevents modification of the device overview screen(s), the only gripe I've got is that the backlight doesn't come on unless the backlight button is pressed.

It shouldn't be difficult to do...the parts ought to cost less than 50 cents...maybe a buck and a half if there's more than a couple of lines to the MCU that need to be watched to determine if a button or the touchscreen is pressed.

with the latest firmware update you can do it. go to mode - setup. increase LCD timeout to max, increase backlight time to max then backoff the LCD timeout to what you want. The result is the backlight comes on whenever you touch any key and stays on for the duration of the display timeout.
