[FR] disable Pi power LED #194

Closed ted210 closed 2 years ago

It would be great if the power LED could be disabled. I have my Pi mounted inside my C64 breadbin and I can see the red LED glow through the keys which is about the only thing reminding me that I'm not using a real C64!

Nothing to do with BMC64 (as what you're asking for is a function of the Raspberry PI/firmware)...however, the below does wonders on everything except the 3A+ (whose power light will stubbornly stay on no matter WHAT you do). And there's always black electrical tape...

Add as desired to config.txt:

# Disable Ethernet LEDs
dtparam=eth_led0=14
dtparam=eth_led1=14

# Disable the PWR LED
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

# Disable the Activity LED
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off

Thank you. I have a 3A+ (Faszination C64) so will tape/blu tack it. I may try to desolder it and remove it completely as long as that doesn't break anything else on the Pi.
