I don’t see information on the Wiki about turning the screen off to save power.
I’d like to be able to turn it off after a period of time and on again when a button is pushed.

Thanks!

Power Consumption, low power

HI Scott,

I have updated how to turn it ON/OFF on wiki: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Wio-Terminal-LCD-Basic/ or just check below:

#include"TFT_eSPI.h"
TFT_eSPI tft;
#define LCD_BACKLIGHT (72Ul) // Control Pin of LCD

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  
    tft.begin();
    tft.setRotation(3);
    tft.fillScreen(TFT_RED);

    delay(2000);
    // Turning off the LCD backlight
    digitalWrite(LCD_BACKLIGHT, LOW);
    delay(2000);
    // Turning on the LCD backlight
    digitalWrite(LCD_BACKLIGHT, HIGH);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}
