Finished build, went through battery activation. The R2D2 does not work at all. The side panel on the left lights up when I press the power button but I get nothing else.

Nice.

Anyone any ideas as I am not very happy at the cost spent for a non working build ?

Below is an image of what I mean.

The side panel should only light up when the app is used, it stays off during start up and manual mode.

Firstly can you provide the spec and what batterys your using in R2 then can you double check all your cables are labeled and inserted correctly in there sockets.

Sounds like you may of possible swapped LCD1 and RB connections in the head, but even if you have and you swap them around you may still end up with just the RED light on and nothing else happening!

Don't know if you have already sorted this issue, however, a few were having this issue on one of the facebook groups ... one poster found the issue (not me) and all now seems good .... the issue is the connector on the C-IN port on the board can easily be inserted the wrong way around , just check and turn 180 (the connector not you) job done !
