h i ,
I know it could look like a weird request, but does anyone know how to turn off CF's leds (if at all possible)?
I can't find anyone who did it in the past on the forums. I guess it has something to do with firmware, but not much more...
I know how important are leds indications for battery and so, but I'm trying to fly in very dark conditions, and leds are reeeeaaally too bright.

thanks for any help
cheers

The red and green LED can be switched off by compiling a modified FW but the blue LEDs must be disconnected/removed since they are connected to the digital supply voltage.

To switch off the red and green led comment out the ledInit(); function in ledseq.c. You could also manipulate the led sequences in the same file.

If they are top bright, why don't you cover them? Nailpaibt should do a fine job or an dark marker (just be carefully!)
