The LED has been desoldered from the board, so that is one fewer blue light to keep us up at night. It is really surprising how much light is produced by such a tiny component.
@th it's not a *real* activity light until your end users are getting sleep disorders and maybe seizures from it
@th I have a beaglebone black with that sort of LED. The next revision had an explicit note "reduce LED brightness after many complaints".
I couldn't sleep in the *next room over* unless the door was shut and the LED faced away from the crack under the door.
@th Sharpie to the rescue! It will take off at least 5mA.
nobody:
board designers: what if we drive the status LED with 20mA?
