Big ESP32 / SX127x topic part 1

Looking at your picture, it looks like they use a MCP73831 (or compatible) charging IC (the 5-pin SOT23 below the helical coil). The default behaviour of the STAT pin is to blink while charging (or no battery connected) and to turn off when battery is full.

This is from one of my designs, which also uses a green led to indicate battery full.
