Hi, I am trying to make an improved 3d printable case for the v2 and I am wondering how important are all the lights on the back for users of the v2?

Do you actually every look at them?

The 4 LEDs just indicate battery status (there isn't a battery indicator on the display). I think you don't need to put holes there because most 3D printing material are translucent anyway.

The purpleish metallic I used is not, but is awesome 😍 how about the other light? Are useful for something besides debugging?

Other than the 4 battery indicator LEDs there are 2 LEDs for synthesizer lock, a red one for ADC clip, and a blue one controlled by the MCU that's currently not used for anything (it just flashes during plotting to show how long the code takes to execute).

Thanks for the answer :)

Anyone else uses the leds for something?
Do people actually check battery using the leds?

I am still wondering if I should add the holes 🤔 beauty vs function?

At the end I made both version, with or without holes for leds :)
