Hey all,

Have connected e682 to a pixel string (correctly I hope), and, via multi-metre testing, see that power comes out near first pixel.

When I try to run the test bed, nothing happens. The manual tells me that the green light should flash and I have not yet seen that happen.

Test pattern 5 has been set up on the config page. But still no test flash. I'm assuming if the green light hasn't flashed this is an error near the board, but I'm not sure what.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you configured the output correctly? By default, the outputs are normally set to different pixel types so you will need to make sure that you are outputting to the correct pixel type before the test pattern works.

Also the older firmware on the e682 doesn't work nicely with some ws2811 pixels and you would need to have updated firmware in order to have it work.

Perhaps some screenshots of your config will help in getting some lights blinking.
