Help: Lynx Express runs thru test. but when won't come out of tst mode.

[TexasStingray]

Just finished building my 1st Lynx Express. Followed the video and ran thru the test just fine. But when I press mode again after the test is complete to goto the program mode it will not change. If I reboot I can change modes. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks

Ok, it won't come out of test mode, after running the test, push the reset button, and the board will restart and be ready to go.

I don't have one in front of me, but after running the test mode, if you push the select button, it will turn on all the lights, so you can check to make sure all your lights are working. Nifty feature RJ put in there.

After you hit the select to turn on all lights then the mode button returns to normal and will let you scroll through the menu

Yes the newest version of the firmware has that as a new feature. It was request to aid in setup by allowing you to lock the lights all on with out having to go inside to the computer.

Thanks, That is a good feature, especially as i am starting out. Trying to get some vixen seqs. until I get at least 3 I will run it with all lights on.

Or Have steady lights and add in the one or two you have now after 5 to 10 minutes.  You will just have a longer intermission, but always cool to see how it looks after staring at a grid for so long.

Slightly off topic.  Can I reflash the pic from my v2 LE to get the lights on feature?  I REALLY like this feature.  Genius!

Yes the LE firmware will work with any version LE.
