Why use only one LED under the knob? People were complaining when there were three LEDs on Brian's kit because the light wasn't even enough.... Why not make up boards similar to Brian's new board, unless he has copyrights and won't let you use his design....?

Well, the answer to your first question, why one LED, is that there appear to be leftover traces and mounting pads on the displayboard for one LED near the knob. I am hoping to use that for simple installation.

The answers to your second question are varied, but basically boil down to: (1) not interested, (2) not nice (I *am* Canadian, eh), (3) tfabris has a better knob solution anyway, that could be assembled and sold as an install-yourself kit, and (4) I'm trying to keep this simple enough that I don't lose too much money on it (when I'm soldering or gluing docks, I'm not hacking Linux for a living.. guess which pays better?)

Cheers
