Hi,
I have installed new Pironman mini pc chasis and it seems due to some reason LED strip is not working. I tried to enable the RGB lights through command line, it did say it succeed but not light glowing.
Please help to resolve this issue if I am doing something wrong here ? or do I need to get replacement for this if it is faulty part ?
Thanks in advance.
Please check if the pironman you received is the V2 version, you can observe on the assembly foldout that there is a link to go to our tutorial.
RGB lights not working?
You may have cloned the wrong code branch, please check if your pironman code branch is bit v2.0:
cd ~/pironman
git branch
If not, switch to v2.0 and reinstall it:
git checkout v2.0
sudo python3 install.py
In the v2.0 code, the IO10 (spi) pin is used by default to drive rgb.
The command to change the rgb IO is pironman -rp 10.
Check if the IO short connector on the motherboard is properly connected.

Dear Sunfounder Team,
Thank you very much for your quick response on my query. That was spot-on. I did installed default version instead of v2.0. I have followed your steps mentioned and RGB is working fine now.
Thank you once again.
Regards,
Anirudh

Hi, it could be a few things. First, make sure the LED strip is properly connected to the board and the cables are firmly seated. Also check if the required software or drivers for controlling the RGB lights are installed and running, sometimes the command line shows success but the service in the background isn’t active. If everything looks fine and it still doesn’t light up, it might be a faulty strip or controller, so in that case reaching out for a replacement would be the best option.
