@Simon-1 PanelDueFirware already has a screen saver. Is that not sufficient? Currently there is no command to turn the screen off.

@Simon-1 I wired a slider switch into the 5v power line mounted to the side of the PD cases. Super easy if your using serial. Might be harder with the ribbon cable. However, I almost never use the switch the screen saver seems good enough.
