[what happened] Periodic signal at 2min / cycle in od reading
If the OD signal looks like this, then likely the LED driver output is saturated and we are basically seeing the 5V rail noise. You can test this by running a CPU intense command (like pio update --app --dev) and seeing the OD drop (pictured above).
Solution is to drop the ir_intensity in the config. In the above graph, the IR intensity was 95%, and I was using v0.1 HAT. After setting the ir_intensity to 45%, this was the result:
Nice.
This should be fixed in the production HAT however
