#Snapmaker U1 WLED Status Bar

U1Snapstatus V1.0

WLED-based LED status bar for the Snapmaker U1.

Based on the WLED v2 usermod Klipper Percentage
(https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED) with Klipper API integration.

Modified and extended by me drc85 NOTE - all normal wled functions are disabled so there are nor crashes!!!
