What would the proper way to wire the LCD backlight to a port and setting that port so that it comes on. Currently I wired the backlight to +5v on the plus side and the minus side of the LCD backlight to portd.0. The LCD backlight is an LED. So to turn the backlight on I set LOW PORTD.0 which I understand and to turn it off I set it HIGH. This method puts +5vdc on the LED at all times. Of course it does not come on until I set portd.0 low which is understandable. I'm just trying to figure if this is standard way to hook something like this up. Can a variable be set to HIGH to end this confusion?
I'm sure this is a dumb simple question but I'll ask anyway.
Example:
_OFF = High
_ON = LOW
portd.0=_on
Thanks
