Description
These are older versions of the Backlight driver. Please use Version 2.0 or later, if possible! This driver lets you switch a backlight via hotkey. The backlight control line must be connected to a specific I/O pin of the palmtop's CPU. v1.1 is slightly modified by John to support specific EL panels (automatic screen inversion. for example).

Send to my palmtop
The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
