Hello!
Working on a project with #1721 bi-color bargraph kit where I am only using the first bank nearest the IC. Would it hurt anything to cut the board to remove the second bank spot?
Thanks
OK to cut off second bank on #1721 Bi-color bargraph?

Use your best judgement and proceed at your own risk.
I can't say it will work, but based on the schematic and board layout, you'd only be cutting through wires needed by the second segment. You would end up with some exposed power traces on the cut edge you'd probably want to watch out for.

Should've provided this in last post for completeness. Schematic and drawing for reference:
