Section 7: Introduction to TSP operation
Reads the status of the light state by passing
the attribute to the print function. If the display
light state is set to 50%, the output is:
display.STATE_LCD_50
This reads the light state by assigning the
attribute to a variable named light. If the
display light state is set to 25%, the output is:
display.STATE_LCD_25
