Add a cutable jumper to disconnect the RGB LED #10

Open Eric-FR opened 1 year ago

The nRF82540 feather board has a neopixel LED (ref.: WS2812B) with a Quiescent Current of 0,5 mA (https://lowpowerlab.com/forum/general-topics/ws2812b-rgb-led-measurements/) At idle, this is the first power consumption of the board. The only way to bypass it is to unsolder the LED. It would be much easer if a jumper that we can cut was available to cut LED powering.
