I'm having the same problem. Dead as a Dodo the only difference being I have gone through the start up procedure and still it remains dead..Sad Angry

Can someone point me in the right direction.

I've checked the voltage going into the battery pack and that seems ok.

I have power coming out of the battery pack.

But R2 is dead. Perhaps still waiting for Luke to return....

Could you provide a link to where you got your batterys fron just to check there the correct type.

You will need to double check all your labels are correct and that all the connections are good as a start.

Have you pressed the on/off power button on the front panel, (bottom button).
Nothing will happen until you've pressed that.
I had the same issue after following the start up procedure as written in the magazine. (no mention of the button)
Luckily the first post i read mentioned this button.
R2 came alive on pressing the button and everything has worked fine bar a couple of glitches in the app.

Batterys look good could you try to borrow a test meter to see what voltage your getting from the battery box leed.

Also have you downloaded the user guide link below-

Hi

I have downloaded the user guide and pressed the button on the front, but still no luck.

the voltage coming out of the battery pack is approx 12.5 volts.

thanks

You will now need to double check all your connections are fully seated and in there correct places. Also that all your labels are fixed to each wire as specified.

All wires look good in their sockets. Fault has to be with the MCU or Dome processor unit.

Trying to order a new MCU and Dome processor unit to swap bits out.

Web page appears to be down as I can't pay for the items.
