### You will need:
* 1x potentiometer with switch. I used and recommend the [P170SP1-FC15AR10K](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/tt-electronics-bi/P170SP1-FC15AR10K/5957483)

* 1x 100+ Ω resistor
- The resistor determines the max brightness—more resistance -> dimmer max brightness level. So, feel free to use a higher-value resistor if you want to tone down the screen permanently, but be careful using anything less, since you c
