Can the LED on PiicoDev sensor be turned off?

[Jono]

Short of using a bit of gaffer tape, just wondering if there is a command to toggle the LED off? I didn’t see any reference in the PiicoDev library.

It’s a nice to have, as it is quite bright. Thanks.

Hi Jono,

There is a trace on the rear of the PCB you can cut to disable the power LED (and solder pads to bridge if you want to reenable it later). @Michael mentioned it in another PiicoDev thread I’ve linked below.

PiicoDev MPU-6050 motion sensor - error

I regret not checking the forums over the weekend! There is a less destructive way to disable the Power LED - Cut the jumper labelled PWR LED on the rear side of the board: [image] A hobby knife or razor works well. Be careful not to cut anywhere outside the pill-shaped outline. You can solder across this jumper to re-enable the power LED later. I’ll update product listings to ensure this feature is more obvious.

Thanks @Spookee!

FYI, Michael actually tossed up making it software switchable on the glowbit module, but decided against it:
