Inducing the green Team LED?
Does anyone know of a way to make the RC blink the team color light green?
Just curious about this little "easter egg"... ![]() |

Re: Inducing the green field light?
IIRC, If you set the team number to 0 so you are in a constant autonomous state the Team LED will blink Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Green.

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
I know I saw a picture of a robot that was flashing green during a regional but I unfortunatelt can't find the thread anymore. But there is photographic evidence

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
Our LED started to fall off at a couple of regionals, so not all the pins were in contact, and it started flashing Green and Yellow. That was odd. It's possible, but I don't know how to do it on purpose.

Unfortunately, that was during a malfunction of the RC, so there's no way to duplicate it through the same method. Quote:

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
I'm asuming that you are talking about the LED lights that you mounted to your robot on the sides? If you are, all you have to do is change the wiring around where the wires plug into the RC. I messed around witht hat last week and got ours to bcome white, red, green, blue, bluish green, ect. I will post pics later today If I can.

Of course I don't have the RC readily available anymore. However, this would make a great practical joke for the other members of the programming team, who think that it can only be red or blue! ![]() |

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
Just a point of warning, please don't not alter the wiring of the led blocks that will be used on your robot in competition this year. They are used for diagnostics and by you changing the wire pattern will result in confused technicians and possible issues on the field.

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
IIRC - Last year on 229 we plugged in the LED plug sideways on the RC pins. This made it a solid green. The IFI reps at Finger Lakes enjoyed picking on me for that oopsie.

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
Just so everyone knows, I was not going to use this in competition, let alone to jam someone else's vision system in an incredibly un-GP manner!
As I stated previously, I just wanted to play a practical joke on the other members of the programming team, as well as unlock this little "easter egg" IFI put in our team color LEDs. ![]() |

Re: Inducing the green Team LED?
I imagine that IFI designed the LED to include green and yellow just in case FIRST has four alliances again.
The rookies may not be aware of this but a few years ago (2001 I think, don't quote me) there were green and yellow alliances in addition to the red and blue. At that time the LEDs didn't exist. We used the revolving lights and had green, blue, red and yellow lenses to swap out depending on what alliance you were on. I don't know why they would turn white though, I've never heard of any robots willingly surrendering during a match yet! ![]() |
