Hello there! I have this sparkfun photon redboard and it was working fine a few hours ago, however it started acting up just now. The main problem is I don’t know what color it is. When I run my code from particle it starts off fine like usual however after it blinks cyan it turns into this solid c…

You can always upload a video of the bootup. If you turn down exposure or put a piece of white paper over the LED it might also be easier to see. But any steady RGB LED color (unless controled via RGB.color() by yourself) is indicating some kind of deadlock in your code. So posting your code migh…

Heres the video: video As to the code, even a blank sheet of code with void setup(){ } void loop(){ } doesn’t flash, so I’m led to believe that it’s some sort of wifi connection problem. I searched online for color codes and they said that breathing white was telling the user that the photon’…

The you better get dfu-util, this does help in multiple cases. [image] DFU-UTIL Install on Mac OS X Tutorials I have recently faced issues with photon that have meant I needed to install and use DFU-UTIL on my mac running OSX El Capitan. The instructions on the Help Page a…

However, when I run specifically this line of code, it turns back to the white/yellow color. Do you have any idea why? int pins[] = {A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, D7, D6, D5, D4}; boolean isLeft = true; boolean canChange = true; int i; void checkButton(){ if (digitalRead(D2) == HIGH && canChange) { …

[image] Sylverost: for (i = 0; i < sizeof(pins); i++) { This loop does not iterate 10 times but 40 times since an int has 4byte and sizeof() reports the number of bytes in your array. The correct calculation for the number of pins would be this const int pinCount = sizeof(pins) / sizeof(pin…
