CANdle® ======= The CTR Electronics' CANdle® branded device makes it easy to control individually addressable LEDs over CAN. Combined with being a 5V high-efficiency DC voltage regulator, the CANdle® is a versatile addition to any robot. .. grid:: 2 .. grid-item-card:: Store Page :link: https://store.ctr-electronics.com/products/candle :link-type: url CAD and purchase instructions. Status Light Reference ---------------------- .. important:: If the status lights do not exactly match any of the blink codes below, the device may be alternating between multiple blink codes (most commonly between good and bad CAN). .. raw:: html
| Blink Codes | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Animation (Click to play) | LED State | Cause | Possible Fix |
| LEDs Off | No power, or the StatusLedWhenActive config is set to Disabled. | If you cannot communicate with the CANdle® and all LEDs are off, validate 12V on the Red/Black (+Vin/-Vin) leads. | |
| Blinking Red | CANdle® does not have valid CAN or Pixel pulse train [1]. | Ensure good connections between CANH and CANL (Yellow and Green) and the CAN bus or Pixel pulse train [1], and robot controller is on. | |
| Blinking Orange | CANdle® has a good CAN or Pixel pulse train [1] connection but is not being controlled. | If the robot program is trying to control the CANdle®, ensure good connection between the controller and this device. | |
| Blinking Green | CANdle® has a good CAN or Pixel pulse train [1] connection and is being actively controlled. | ||
| Rapid Red | 5V too high fault. | Check for a short between +Vout and 5V out. | |
| Blip Red | Short circuit or software fuse fault. | Use Tuner X to determine which fault is active. Check for shorts across the output leads, and reduce the current load on the CANdle® (max 6 A). | |
| Blip Orange | Thermal fault. | Allow CANdle® to cool. Consider disabling the onboard LEDs or reducing the current load on the CANdle®. | |
| Alternate Red/Orange | Damaged Hardware. | Use Tuner X Self Test to confirm the LEDs and that the hardware fault is set, then contact CTRE | |
| Alternate Orange/Green | CANdle® in bootloader. | Field-upgrade device in Tuner X. | |
