... and for the same amount of effort it took BillyF ... LCD contrast for the XLCD module.

[BTW - search IS your friend ... some people are more anal about it than others.]

Basically a Potentiometer is the same a rheostat or a varibale resistor. Thats how many dimmers work, such as your guage cluster lights in your car.

The variable resistor get an input voltage of say 5v. Depending on where the wheel is in realtion to the contacts inside, the output voltage can be no higher than 4.97v and the lowest is somewhere at .1 or .01v

Obviously the more resistance put onto the incoming voltage the less the output voltage would be.

This means that the rheostat output on the chip at 4.97 volts would prolly block out everything on the LCD while at .01v output the LCD should not show any text.

that took about the same time it would have taken to search up a dead thread or tell the guy to search.

Buy stuff off Marketplace with a mod Xbox 360.

Wondering if it safe to buy some game from the Marketplace, I didn't update the dashboard yet but will need to log into Xbox live to get to the Marketplace which mean I will have to update. I didn't flash the Xbox myself and it should be a LiteOn with iXtreme LT v1.0 I think. I want to get the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game for 400 ms points.

Re: Buy stuff off Marketplace with a mod Xbox 360.

just wait for the new firmware ,flash and log on then to buy the game,but i think you should be fine buying it now because i have 3 friends that still play on line whit backups and aren't baned yet.But i would recommend waiting til the next firmware comes out
