Hello! We’re using a REV blinkin and the status light is off and the 5V light plus the 12V light are lit up. Trying to enter setup mode does nothing. We’ve tried resetting it but nothing happens. Here are pictures of it:
We have had issues with our Blinkin as well (see this thread). Ultimately we decided we couldn’t trust it in competition (our LEDs help provide info to the drive team) and we switched to direct control using WPILib’s LED support.
When you say you reset it, do you mean just a normal power-off-and-on, or a factory reset? If you haven’t tried the latter (hold both buttons while powering on, continue to hold for another ~2s) give that a try. If that doesn’t do it, reach out to REV support.
Hello! Thank you for the response. When I said reset I meant both power cycle and factory reset. Before, when it was working fine, the default color pattern was yellow breathing. I believe when it broke the LED pattern was still the same, but when I reset it the pattern was a solid sky-blue, which is good because blinkin manual says that once doing a factory reset the default pattern will be sky-blue. Though, the blinkin is sending power to the 12V and not 5V.
Variable Default Value
Color 1 Sky Blue – 0x0080FF
^^^^^ ^^^^^
Color 2 Gold – 0xFFEA00
Strip Length 60 LEDs
No Signal Pattern 29 – Color Waves, Party Palette
Strip Select 5V
I will definitely try the WPILib LED support, Thank you!
