peripherals toggling on and off

[lawnwrangler]

Hi → I had a genesis 1.4 that I replaced the farmduino and power supply with the genesis 1.6. I re-flashed the sd card.

When I power up the farmbot, the farmduino toggles all the peripherals on and off 3 times, then turns all the motors on and off.

Does anyone know what the peripheral toggling is indicating?

Thanks!

Hi @lawnwrangler

Some questions (I don’t have answers yet )

• Does the bot finish boot up and do other normal things ? (run Sequences, etc.)
• Anything “interesting” in the logs at the Web App during the boot up phase ?
  -edit -
• Is there a BOOT SEQUENCE selected for your bot ? (see FarmBot Settings)

I ended up re-flashing the sd card and switching over to the hosted farmbot and that solved the problem.
The farmduino peripheral / motor toggling happens when there is no sd card installed, or when there was an sd card with networking set up and user logged in but no mqtt connection between the farmbot and the web app / server.

I’ll play around with it a bit. I bet there was an update or I had a misconfiguration with the mqtt to server ports. (I had been hosting the older 1.4 farmduino version locally, but it was an old version). If I figure out what I had done incorrectly, I’ll post here.

Thanks for the response!
