Raymarine st 70 autopilot

Hi has anybody managed to get the screen bright enough to see during daylight, once evening approaches the back light comes on and it’s great I have tried all the settings without success if you have a way to turn on the backlight please let me know. Thank you Mike

I've got a p70s pilot controller and it is bright enough at 80% during the day. Normally brightness is 'controlled' by a quick press of the on / off button that will then bring up an option to adjust the brightness.

Thank you I have had two of these and neither of them have been anywhere near readable on a sunny day at maximum brightness I will have another go at the setting

Absolutely fine for me. IIRC there‘s an override on the Axiom (if that’s what you have) that might be interfering with your demand for more brightness on the individual units. Or one unit can be the master of the other.

I70 / P70 and I70s / P70s are much newer technology though - you'd expect them to be brighter.

The I70s and P70s are the latest models, and I wouldn't be surprised if the screens are AMOLED,

I'd guess the ST70 is about 20 years old, and I'd expect difficulties with readability in bright sunlight.
