yeah adding the pot to the zzj analog board is a PITA.
The video I'm making won't eliminate the bother of buying the parts, but the installation has now become much more straightforward. Reading the documentation had me worried, but in the end, I figured out the most streamlined way of doing it. With that said, it would be great if the parts could be included with the LCD Kit in the future. That way, everyone could have the same parts and follow the video instructions more easily.

The LCD is the perfect brightness for a normal lit room during the day. But when you stay up in the wee hours of the night, especially if you have bedroom light dimming like I do, being able to dim your LCD is important.

Perhaps one of the biggest uses I get out of the brightness knob is when I need to start a multi-hour MacBench session just before I go to sleep, and I want to keep the brightness down low (but not off), so I can check the display now and then but not be prevented from sleeping due to an overly bright screen.
