What are you talking about. What board? Lots of things have bright green LEDs and some of them blink. We're going to need some specifics.

Yes please tell us more.

Taking a guess, if that's your Neo Trinkey from the other thread, the green blinking every 5 seconds in Circuitpython means "code done running". You can have it not happen by making your code not stop with this at the end:

Code: Select all

while True:
    pass
That would normally be the loop of your code doing things and waiting for inputs or something like that.

You can also dim the status LED by adding this in a boot.py file:

Code: Select all

import supervisor
supervisor.runtime.rgb_status_brightness = 10 # or 0
Possible values range from 0 to 255, the default is 63.

thanks, that works well. tho i would note, also works with code.py
