Customer:
I think there’s a problem with the instructions on your website for connecting an LCD display. When I open the instructions page, the text is completely disorganized, so I couldn’t find the answer to my question.
Can you tell me if I need to use a current-limiting resistor when connecting the backlight of an LCD display (16x2)? Could there be an overload if I connect the backlight directly to 5V?

Dobar dan.
Mislim da na Vašoj web stranici postoji problem oko uputa za spajanje LCD zaslona. Kada otvorim web stranicu sa uputama tekst je potpuno neorganiziran, pa nisam našao odgovor na sljedeće pitanje.
Možete li mi reći trebam li koristiti predotpornik za spajanje pozadinskog osvjetljenja LCD zaslona (16x2). Može li doći do preopterećenja ako pozadinsko osvjetljenje spojim direktno na 5V?
