adafruit bno085 led disable
Hi, got a bunch of bno085. Tried looking through the pinout and such, couldn't find a simple way to disable the led without resorting to cutting the trace or something permanent like that. Is there a non permanent way to disable the led?

The green power LED is wired between power (the on-board generated 3.3v) and ground, through a resistor. The only way to disable it is, unfortunately, to physically remove it.

Perhaps a drop of some opaque coating, although the LED will still be consuming power.
If you have some skill and two fine-tip soldering irons, use them like tweezers, lift away the LED.

It's a good suggestion, but not something I want to do. I've decided to get around the problem by wiring a dedicated battery disconnect in my project as the most straightforward and least destructive method I can think of.
