Status LED

Chromatron has an RGB status LED mounted near the middle of the board. The colors and patterns all mean different things:

Power up

Solid yellow

This means the bootloader is running. It will flash briefly on a normal start up, and will light for a few seconds after a firmware update.

Solid green

The operating system is booting up.

Normal operation

Flashing green

The operating system is running, and Wifi is not connected.

Flashing blue

Wifi is connected.

Flashing purple

Wifi is running as an access point.

Note

On firmware v1.0, this mode will flash blue/white.

Errors

Flashing red

The operating system has entered safe mode. Please post on the support group if this happens, as this usually indicates the operating system has crashed and we may have a bug.
