Status LED Setup

If you've installed the status LED as described in the assembly section, here's what you need to do on the software side to get it working. I found a helpful guide that explains how this all works.

1. Test the LED

This will turn the LED on for 1 second and then turn it off again.

gpioset -c gpiochip0 13=1
sleep 1
gpioset -c gpiochip0 13=0

2. Edit Configuration

sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

Add the following line at the end:

# Activity LED indicator on GPIO 13
dtoverlay=act-led,gpio=13

3. Reboot

sudo reboot
