Re: Changing the team color flasher LEDs

Competition LED's to my knowledge can ONLY be controlled by the OI/RC / Arena Controller and is set by the channel you use whether in stand-a-lone (meaning at your school or where ever other then competition) or in competition use. I don't think you can alter which LED's you can use and how often they blink since they are used for IFI troubleshooting purposes as well as determining which side of the alliance your on.

There is a third LED (green) but it only flashes if you mistakenly dis-connect one of the joysticks w/o powering down the OI/RC - I kind of found this out through a friend stumbling across this kind of scenario. I believe this LED will also flash if the LED's itself aren't connected the right way but I'm not sure.

I would highly suggest contacting IFI before trying anything with the LED's and the OI/RC b/c I don't think this is something you can alter/change.
