# LED Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue: LED Control Works But LED Doesn't Turn On
|
||||
|
||||
### Symptoms
|
||||
- Commands execute successfully
|
||||
- Brightness value changes correctly (0 for off, 255 for on)
|
||||
- No physical LED visible or LED doesn't appear to turn on
|
||||
|
||||
### Possible Causes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **LED Not Installed on Your Model**
|
||||
- Not all reTerminal DM4 units may have a physical `usr-led` installed
|
||||
- The control interface exists in software but hardware may be missing
|
||||
- Check your specific model's documentation from Seeed Studio
|
||||
|
||||
2. **LED Location Not Visible**
|
||||
- The LED may be in a location that's difficult to see
|
||||
- May require specific viewing angle or lighting conditions
|
||||
- Check around the screen bezel, especially near buzzer location
|
||||
|
||||
3. **LED Requires Different Control Method**
|
||||
- Some LEDs may need to be controlled via GPIO directly
|
||||
- May require specific initialization sequence
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check LED Device Exists:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ls -la /sys/class/leds/usr-led/
|
||||
cat /sys/class/leds/usr-led/brightness
|
||||
cat /sys/class/leds/usr-led/max_brightness
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Test Control Interface:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Turn OFF
|
||||
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/usr-led/brightness
|
||||
cat /sys/class/leds/usr-led/brightness # Should show 0
|
||||
|
||||
# Turn ON
|
||||
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/usr-led/brightness
|
||||
cat /sys/class/leds/usr-led/brightness # Should show 255
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Test with Triggers:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Try default-on trigger
|
||||
echo default-on | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/usr-led/trigger
|
||||
sleep 2
|
||||
cat /sys/class/leds/usr-led/brightness # Should show 255
|
||||
|
||||
# Return to manual
|
||||
echo none | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/usr-led/trigger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Check Hardware Info:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat /sys/class/leds/usr-led/uevent
|
||||
dmesg | grep -i led
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Official Documentation Status
|
||||
|
||||
According to Seeed Studio's official documentation:
|
||||
- The reTerminal DM has a **buzzer** that is well-documented and confirmed to work
|
||||
- The **LED indicator** (`usr-led`) control is mentioned but may not be physically present on all models
|
||||
- Some documentation sources indicate the LED may be system-managed rather than user-controllable
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Contact Seeed Studio Support**
|
||||
- Verify if your specific model includes a user-controllable LED
|
||||
- Request model-specific documentation
|
||||
- Ask about LED location and visibility
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use Alternative Indicators**
|
||||
- Use the buzzer for audio feedback
|
||||
- Use screen display for visual feedback
|
||||
- Use system LEDs (ACT, PWR) if available (though these are typically read-only)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Check Model Variants**
|
||||
- Different reTerminal DM variants may have different hardware configurations
|
||||
- Verify your exact model number and compare with official specifications
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternative: GPIO Direct Control
|
||||
|
||||
If the LED subsystem doesn't work, you can try controlling via GPIO directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# The LED is on PCA9535 GPIO expander (base GPIO 578)
|
||||
# You would need to export the specific GPIO pin
|
||||
# This requires knowing the exact pin number on the PCA9535
|
||||
|
||||
# Example (may need adjustment):
|
||||
GPIO_PIN=578 # Base + pin offset
|
||||
echo $GPIO_PIN | sudo tee /sys/class/gpio/export
|
||||
echo out | sudo tee /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIO_PIN/direction
|
||||
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIO_PIN/value # ON
|
||||
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/class/gpio/gpio$GPIO_PIN/value # OFF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: GPIO direct control requires knowing the exact pin mapping, which may not be documented.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The LED control interface is functional and accepts commands correctly. If the LED doesn't physically turn on:
|
||||
- The control software is working
|
||||
- The hardware may not be present on your model
|
||||
- Contact Seeed Studio for model-specific information
|
||||
- Consider using buzzer or screen display as alternatives
