Title: Wireless LED
Post by: Milan on May 04, 2018, 01:54:14 pm

According to the quick start guide coming with Gemini, there is another LED on the top of device (right side). I never saw it turned on. Is it really there?

It should turn on when your Gemini is charging.

I am talking about the LED on the RIGHT side :-)

Since there are diffusers over the LED's, it would take quite some teardown to see the actual LED's. However, after popping off both the top metal covers and looking at the known LED locations, and then comparing to the right side of the device, I can say there appears to be a diffuser on the right hand side too. Whether there's an actual LED below, is another question, but it would seem strange to have a diffuser with no purpose.

I've attached an image with (what I think is) the LED diffusers marked in red.

The sixth LED can be lit by calling NotificationManager.openLed(6, ...)

For the benefit of non-techies like me, might you explain how to "call" - NotificationManager.openLed(6, ...) - to activate the sixth LED, please?
And what the benefit is, if any, activating that sixth LED?
Thank you.

This is how Android app developers can make it light up.
