cutting out LEDs #30

Closed CatherineTaelman closed 2 years ago

CatherineTaelman commented 2 years ago

You indicate to cut out the 'power LED' to save the batteries. Does it make sense to also cut out the other LEDs? Or are they rather useful to check that the instrument is working properly and don't consume so much power anyway?

No need to cut the other LEDs - they are on only for brief amounts of time and help to see that things work as you say :) . Don't close, I will update the documentation :) .

(but cut the LEDs on the qwiic switch, these are some always on that use quite a bit :) ).

okay thank you:)
