Uconsole charging LED

Anyone managed to get this thing working while the Uconsole is also off, as the PicoCalc does ?. Ridiculous having to switch on to see where it’s at…

As others have said:

The charge LED is driven by the kernel and is used as a live system charging indicator. Two inline USB-C PD power meters on Amazon are $10. I have them on most of my power supplies for ease of troubleshooting because they’re so useful, and particularly if you’re recharging your uConsole while powered off, as they’ll show 0A current pull when the charge controller believes the battery is full.
