Just starting out with this Syren50 I followed the instructions in terms of putting the red/black wires in b-/b+ but no led blue or red shows.please help
Hello @Ronin49 and welcome to the forum,
Are you using an appropriate power source? The recommended power sources are:
• 5 to 24 cells NiMH or NiCd
• 2s to 8s lithium ion or lithium polymer. SyRen motor drivers have a lithium
battery mode to prevent cell damage due to over-discharge of lithium battery
packs.
• 6v to 30v lead acid
• 6v to 30v power supply (when in parallel with a suitable battery)
The battery or power supply is connected to terminals B- and B+. B- connects to the negative side of the battery (usually black) B+ connects to the positive side of the battery (usually red or yellow). Did you make these connections appropriately?
The SyRen 50 has two indicator LEDs (status and error). The green LED marked status is used to communicate various information about the current state. Its operation depends on the operating mode. For example, if a lithium battery pack is selected, the status LED blinks the number of cells detected. Unless you are in lithium mode, the status LED will usually remain on.
The Error LED illuminates if the SyRen has detected a problem. It will light if the driver has shut down due to a depleted battery or due to overheating. If you are using a NiCd or NiMH battery, and commanding an acceleration causes the motor to jerk and the Error LED to flash on and off, the battery is depleted.

Am using a 12v/recharable battery 24if I connect them together as the power source,just one for now and I even followed the instructions with it… an even switch 3on the microcontroller to on…nothing
What type of battery are you using? Lithium, NiCd, NiMH?
If the SyRen is being run from NiCd, NiMH or alkaline batteries, or from a power supply, switch 3 should be in the up (ON) position. If you are using lithium batteries it should be in the down position.

A scooter battery so lithium
If you are using lithium batteries the switch 3 should be in the down position and the status LED should blink the number of cells detected.
