Flashing red LED (and RGBpx outputs) on Octo

Saturday, March 5th 2022, 3:49am

Hey all,

Finally got around to installing my Octo and next flow sensor. Did a full rebuild and when I boot up, the Octo has a flashing red LED, and the RGB outputs are flashing red as well. I can't seem to change it.

The manual seems to say this is due to fault or voltage error but all the connected fans and devices are plugged in fully and were working before when plugged straight into the motherboard.

UPDATE: I found the alarm and powered off the machine fully. On reboot it seems to be working, but now I am getting faulty results from the fans.

The octo is outputting power to them correctly (they are running) but the sensor for it switches from on to off. I suspect a fan is faulty after all.

Has anyone experienced the software detecting the fan (connected in series to another on that port), and then losing the detection?

An idea of your fan layout may help us to determine the problem, sounds to me like you maybe have too many fans on one PWM header. If the combined output of your fans exceeds 25w per PWM header, then that's your problem.
