CrowPi2 Keyboard Questions
To charge the CrowPi2 keyboard I connected the supplied white micro USB cable from keyboard to a USB port. Is this OK?
Does the RC522 RFID induction module charge the keyboard? I don't know what it is.
Does the blue light flash or change colour to show the battery state?
When do I know that the battery is charged? Will the red power light or the blue Staus light change?
To disable the trackpad use the key with a monitor with diagonal line through. You cannot select Fn F1 on this keyboard as the manual says. It might work with another keyboard.
Open Raspberry (top left)>Preference>Raspberry Pi Configuration>localization and set all items or the time may be wrong.
Someone please clarify these items.

Yes, it is perfectly fine.
No, it is for use with your own experiments. You can follow each learning lessons to learn how to use each modules.
No, the Status indicator (Blue) shows the wireless keyboard connection status.
The Power indicator (Red) shows the charging status.
Probably correct as there are 3 versions of the keyboard. if your keyboard is the new version (On/Off switch and lights are on the right-hand side), while mine is the Kickstarter version (On/Off switch and lights are on the left-hand side with a Fn key). And the related key to toggle the trackpad is labeled as a crossed trackpad icon or Fn on the new/previous or Kickstarter version keyboard respectively.

Correct, by default, all settings are based on UK (i.e. Locale, Timezone and WiFi Country).

p.s. The CrowPi2 FAQ is also a good place to start if you run into other issues.
Thank you.
My keyboard has the switch and lights on the left but does not have a Fn key so I have to use the crossed trackpad icon key.
I will try charging the keyboard and see if the red light goes out.
Thanks for confirming your keyboard version. I have updated my previous reply post accordingly.
