· How to control the LED-PWM Outlet at UO+
You should use @amedee firmware for that, it adds led control on the panel control and it even saves the brightness so when you turn it on it lights on like a um2.

one question still: When I start the firmware-builder and choose the Ultimaker Original+ printer, I get a lot of alternatives to change in the lines below, but I can't find an LED option to choose!
Is the LED-option built into the generator as standard?

Indeed. If you just choose umo+ without changing anything you get an standard umo+ firmware, but with added Led pwm control
I finally took a different path though. As my LED-stripes turned out to be 12V, I had to use some hardware (LM7812) to adapt it anyway. So I connected it to VCC2 (+24V) at Pin1/J15 (PWM/LED) and to GND /-24V at Pin3/J9. Both pins were unused at my board and easy to access. I use a little switch to control the lights.
Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

Yes indeed there are very few things you can't opt-out, mostly bug fixes. Led control is one of them.
I should probably document that as I tend to claim that without any option it is the same as the official firmware, but it is not 100% true anymore.

Thanks for clarifying that.
