This option outlines two options for adjusting the backlight intensity of the LCD1602 or LCD2004 display The manual method is fixed; you adjust the pot till the LCD intensity is at the desired level then it is set. If you used a 10K rotary potentiometer then you could mount the pot on the focuser body and use a knob to control the LCD intensity and set it to whatever level you wanted, as often as you wanted. This would be the easy, cheap and quickest solution and involve no software changes to the firmware. The automatic method can be controlled by hardware under software control. This requires extra hardware circuits and additional code to modfiy the arduino firmware so that the level can be adjusted by software (commands coming from the Windows app - or setting the level in the ASCOM driver [yet to be implemented] ). This option is more complext than the manual method and more costly.
