Question about turning of the white power LED #4

Closed leonnicklas closed 6 months ago

leonnicklas commented 6 months ago

Hi there!

Thanks for your great work, I'm looking forward to using your boards in my motorhome!

One question though: Is there any way to programmatically turn off the power LED?

The problem is that I'm using it in an off-grid system, where I naturally want to save power wherever I can. Also, the board will be mounted behind walls and therefore the LED can't be seen anyway...

Would love to hear from you:)

Kind regards Leon (from Munich)

Hello Leon, thanks! Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the power LED via SW. To do it 'via hardware' there are 3 options:

Here are parts/traces locations for different board types:

Esp32-Stick-PoE-A

tracecut-esp32stickpoea led-esp32stickpoea res-esp32stickpoea trace-esp32stickpoea

Esp32-Stick-Eth

tracecut-esp32sticketh res-esp32sticketh led-esp32sticketh trace-esp32sticketh

Esp32-Stick-PoE-P

tracecut-esp32stickpoep led-esp32stickpoep res-esp32stickpoep trace-esp32stickpoep

Best regards and good luck with your motorhome project! Alex
