LEDs and their meanings...

[PowerGod]

I have 2 LEDs on the Pandora that I have never seen on... so I tried to search for info, but I can't find for what them are used for...


From left to right:


O - Left SD Read/Write


O - Right SD Read/Write


O - WiFi


O - Bluetooth


O - ?????


O - ?????


O - Charging


O - Power

Aren't those pcb pads left unpopulated?

Oh ^_^ Now that's a good explanation


I can't see if there's actually something inside those slots

Yes, they are not soldered, but could be added and controled via software,too

I would actually love to see leds presoldered in those blank slots, maybe with cut spots on the traces and new pads for a custom set of leds. However presoldered built in one would be useful.

There are quite a few pads for spare led's if you look in the "official hacker manual." You will have to use smd package led with smd package resistor if you want them actually on the board.

Keep in mind also that the GPIOs attached to those LED pads are also available for other purposes if preferred. Not having them pre-populated gives more flexibility to anyone doing modifications.

If I had the parts, I'd learn the skills to solder in a MAGIC switch with an associated LED.
