Charging the Little Cyclops battery again...

I don't really understand it - the lights I get when charging my Little Cyclops seem to have changed over time.

Maybe my microSD card has dodgy contacts - I sometimes have trouble reading it in the microSD slot of my card reader - but it always works if I plug it in via the SD Adaptor that came with the microSD card. Then again, I did first try charging my Little Cyclops without a card in the slot - as I mostly use Linux and wanted to read my one and only card at the same time.

Now, what I seem to get is steady BLUE and flashing YELLOW when charging connected to a PC. Or, steady RED and flashing YELLOW when charging connected to a USB charger.

When charging from a USB charger you can change mode and take photos as normal - and the lights then change to what you would normally expect when taking pictures (the YELLOW light switches off) - so that allows you to run the camera for a long while if you wanted to do a long term timelapse video.
