8.2 - No Status/Power LEDs On

Ensure that your power supply is supplying correct voltage as per section 3.1.1. Also ensure that it can 
supply enough power to drive the lights that are connected. You should also try disconnecting all 
outputs and see if the controller starts then. If the supplied power is correct, try performing a forced 
firmware update as per section 6.4. 

8.3 – No Pixel Control

Check that the correct pixel IC type has been selected in the dropdown box in the Diode Manager 
config under the ‘LEDs’ tab. Also check the physical wiring and pinout of the pixels as well as the 
output fuse. 

8.4 - Other Issues

Try performing a factory default reset on the device as per section 8.5 below. If the device still fails to 
perform as expected, please check the LED codes as per section 8.1. For the latest more specific 
troubleshooting information and other help, please contact our Technical Dept.
You can also send an e-mail to 

[email protected]

 and a ticket will be automatically created for 

you. 

8.5 - Reset to Factory Defaults

To reset the controller to its factory default settings, do the following: 

1. Hold down the “Factory IP” button AND the “Bootloader” buttons together before applying

power.

2. Power up the board.
3. Wait for both LEDs to flash together.
4. Release both buttons.
5. Power cycle (turn power off, wait 5 seconds then turn it on again).
