Move the RGB LED up, to where it works better as a flashlight #59

Closed CRImier closed 6 years ago

CRImier commented 6 years ago

The RGB LED, as placed on Gamma boards, needs some kind of light guide to be more useful as a flashlight, since it's covered by the 18650 holder. My proposition is: move it higher on the board and cut a corner off the 18650 board, so that it shines through (currently, the 18650 board has a cutout for the light guide, but the corner is intact).

Problems:

Hmm, we can put that capacitor on the top of the back board - the top expansion socket isn't exactly in the corner, there's some room left.

Moved the capacitor to the top, then shifted the RGB LED up a little - now need to see if that's enough

CRImier commented 6 years ago

Moved the capacitor even further up, after thinking more about it - now it should be easy to make it shine through! The last thing left is modifying the 18650 board accordingly.

Done.
