Status LED

The blinking-lights are not for finger-poking

On the front of the Packet Squirrel is the status LED.

This multi-color LED reflects the system status, and can be customized by payloads.

LED status modes

Blinking green

The first time the Packet Squirrel boots will take several minutes while it configures the internal storage and generates unique SSH keys.

Future power-ups of the Packet Squirrel will take significantly less time.
