Getting the Backlighting PWM from the DCS BIOS data

Somewhere in this spaghetti is a working brightness knob. 🔦

Morning on the bench: getting panel backlighting to talk to DCS-BIOS.

The goal is simple to say and fiddly to do — when you reach into the virtual cockpit and turn the console lights rheostat, the real panel on your desk should dim with it. No separate knob. No guessing. The physical panel just follows the jet. ✈️

Right now that's one green LED, a pot, a breadboard and more jumper wires than any reasonable person needs. But the LED dims when DCS says dim, and that's the whole ballgame. 💡

Next: PWM smoothing, then scaling it up from one test LED to a full backlit faceplate.
