Sorry, I was a little fast to respond.

Have you set CONFIG_DESKTOP_LED_COUNT=3 in the correct .conf file? Set it in the conf file corresponding to the one you are buildiing with. E.g. if you are building with west build ... DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ZRelease, then you should set it in the file nrf\applications\nrf_desktop\configuration\<boad>\app_ZRelease.conf.

In addition I think you should modify nrf\applications\nrf_desktop\configuration\<board>\leds_def.h and nrf\applications\nrf_desktop\configuration\<board>\led_state_def.h to take into account the increased amount of leds.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon，when I saw blew code,I think desktop suport three leds default

I just need to know how to config ,or do I miss understand? I know if I want to add a specific LED I should do like the link you say，but If desktop application support 3 peer leds default ，What I do is just config，am I right？

static const struct led_effect led_peer_state_effect[LED_PEER_COUNT][LED_PEER_STATE_COUNT] = {
	{
		[LED_PEER_STATE_DISCONNECTED]   = LED_EFFECT_LED_OFF(),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONNECTED]      = LED_EFFECT_LED_ON_GO_OFF(LED_COLOR(255), 5000, 3000),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_PEER_SEARCH]    = LED_EFFECT_LED_BREATH(500, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONFIRM_SELECT] = LED_EFFECT_LED_CLOCK(1, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONFIRM_ERASE]  = LED_EFFECT_LED_BLINK(25, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_ERASE_ADV]	= LED_EFFECT_LED_BREATH(100, LED_COLOR(255)),
	},
	{
		[LED_PEER_STATE_DISCONNECTED]   = LED_EFFECT_LED_OFF(),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONNECTED]      = LED_EFFECT_LED_ON_GO_OFF(LED_COLOR(255), 5000, 3000),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_PEER_SEARCH]    = LED_EFFECT_LED_BREATH(500, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONFIRM_SELECT] = LED_EFFECT_LED_CLOCK(2, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONFIRM_ERASE]  = LED_EFFECT_LED_BLINK(25, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_ERASE_ADV]	= LED_EFFECT_LED_BREATH(100, LED_COLOR(255)),
	},
	{
		[LED_PEER_STATE_DISCONNECTED]   = LED_EFFECT_LED_OFF(),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONNECTED]      = LED_EFFECT_LED_ON_GO_OFF(LED_COLOR(255), 5000, 3000),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_PEER_SEARCH]    = LED_EFFECT_LED_BREATH(500, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONFIRM_SELECT] = LED_EFFECT_LED_CLOCK(3, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_CONFIRM_ERASE]  = LED_EFFECT_LED_BLINK(25, LED_COLOR(255)),
		[LED_PEER_STATE_ERASE_ADV]	= LED_EFFECT_LED_BREATH(100, LED_COLOR(255)),
	},

I provided an answer to this earlier, check it out here. The answer was given 4 months ago, with an older version of NCS, and stuff might have changed since then, but the answer should give you a good overview.

Best regards,
