I have a Display HAT mini, works fine, however there is a blue led on the right of the screen and I would like to turn it off. Is that possible and if so how do I do it?
Thanks
Mick
Give this a try
from pimoroni import RGBLED
led = RGBLED(6, 7, 8)
led.set_rgb(0, 0, 0)
That fails with No module named ‘pimoroni’.
I have tried to install it with apt and pip but neither can find it. How do install it?

Ops, mixed up what it is, thought it was the Pico Display.
Give me a minute or two and I’ll see what I can find out.
Do you have anything else connected to the Pi’s GPIO?
The pinout is here,
Display HAT Mini at Raspberry Pi GPIO Pinout
and the schematic here,
display_mini_hat.sch (shopify.com)
something must be pulling GPIO 22 low?
Ah yes! I have an IQaudio DigiAMP+ which uses GPIO 22 as mute/unmute. Is there a way around this?
No easy solution, you would have to rewire one of the other. If your not using the LED, remove it, or cover it up with tape.
For the finished project the audio HAT will be directly on the GPIO but the display will be connected with cables. Presumably I could just not connect GPIO 22?
Yes, that should be fine.
Thanks for your help
Mick
