-Our Pico Explorer Pack offers a vibrant 1.14" (240x240) IPS LCD screen for your Raspberry Pi Pico it also includes four switches, a piezo and a DRV8833 motor driver.
+Pico Explorer Base straps a whole host of physical computing goodies to your Pico - a vibrant 1.14" (240x240) IPS LCD screen, four switches, a piezo buzzer/speaker and a DRV8833 motor driver, as well as handy accessible general purpose inputs and outputs and a built in breadboard.
We've included helper functions to handle every aspect of drawing to the screen and interfacing with the buttons, piezo and motor driver. [See the library reference](#reference) for details.

-#### set_backlight
-
-```c++
-void set_backlight(uint8_t brightness);
-```
-
-Set the display backlight from 0-255.
-
-```c++
-uint8_t brightness = 128;
-pico_explorer.set_backlight(brightness);
-```
-
-Uses hardware PWM to dim the display backlight, dimming values are gamma-corrected to provide smooth brightness transitions across the full range of intensity. This may result in some low values mapping as "off."
