turn off LEDs?

[ko0y]

Is there an SSH script or similar that will turn off or dim the LEDs on the board? Thanks.

Unfortunately no. But a bit of electrical tape works wonders

I'm a bit light-sensitive, so I keep several rolls of general purpose vinyl tape in various colors on hand for situations like this, and use it to dim the LEDs on lots of different items like chargers, electronics, and even my digital clock. The different colors have different degrees of opacity. The white tape blocks a little light, the gray tape more, etc. For really bright LEDs, I'll use two or three layers of gray tape. The black vinyl tape totally blocks light.

If you are comfortable compiling the mmdvm_hs firmware there's a line in Config.h that reads...

Code: Select all

// Disable mode LEDs blink during scan mode:
// #define QUIET_MODE_LEDS

If you uncomment (remove the //) in front of #define QUIET_MODE_LEDS this will stop the LEDs from flashing during mode scanning.

If you want to change the service led (jumbospot and mmdvm_hs) the you select the one you want (

Code: Select all

// Engage a constant or descreet Service LED mode once repeater is running 
// #define CONSTANT_SRV_LED
// #define CONSTANT_SRV_LED_INVERTED
// #define DISCREET_SRV_LED
// #define DISCREET_SRV_LED_INVERTED

However if you are not comfortable with doing this then the electricians tape will suffice!
