If you have ever tried to quick glance to see the status of something on your controller you will know that trying to decipher single color blink patterns isn't always easy. By adding an RGB leg we have 7 colors (we are not doing mixing at this time) and it just makes things easier. Want to know if you are in brake vs coast? What color is your neural position led (blue =brake, Yellow = coast). We will be releasing a full chart of the colors and blink patterns and hope that it will help some teams will like the added feedback....and all the pretty colors  |
Are your motor controllers section 508 compliant? As a former U.S. Government purchasing agent, I'm doubting now if I could have bought
any of these motor controllers for Uncle Sam. Oh! blinking lights! Red and green mean different things, with no other distinctions! Fortunately, (as far as I know), we only have one color-blind person on our team this year (red-green), and he's not working controls.
