Reply to "Legacy Amtrak F40PH Number Board Brightness Fix & Cabbage Unit As Well"

Au Contraire!  Note large red arrow, it points to the microprocessor that controls the lights on this board for the Cabbage unit.  The powered unit indeed just has LED's and resistors.

In any case, I don't get this determined drive to alter the brightness of the LED's, why so hard-over on this seemingly minor feature?  Do you really think anyone is going to go to the trouble of designing and laying out this board to do that?  Have you ever done the mechanical design for a board like this that has lots of tolerances to fit all the lighting into the proper places?  I guess I just don't understand why you're putting so much work into this, there are plenty of neat things you can do that would make a difference if you're going to that amount of effort.
