    Hey

    I've a question about backlit LCD'd (2x16)

    Looking at an additional two pins...
    +5v and Gnd for powering the backlight.

    Can I just tap the LCD's power pin or
    is an additional resistor needed for the
    backlight led....?

    Or simply, is a resistor needed for the
    backlight wiring of this type of LCD?

    As always my best

    No need for a resistor.
