with those 6 diodes you hardly can illuminate particular keys while keeping others dark.

For Mohammad's POC (actually iirc I posted him how to do it ;-D), you simply add a

Code:

sleep 1

to inside the for-loop of my code snippet above ;-)

regarding power consumption: 6 * 5mA * ~2V = ~60mW
screen backlight is using up to 15 times that, iirc and my math still works
