RC-01 v2 - Correct LED behavior

I ordered the newest wireless PS2 Controller (RC-01 v2), and it arrived with no operating instructions. Can someone explain the correct LED behavior on both the transmitter and receiver?

For example, when the receiver is powered up, the left (when looking at the front) red LED lights solid, and the right red LED flashes.

When the transmitter is powered up, the right red LED on the receiver turns solid.

This seems to imply that the left LED on the receiver turns on (solid) to indicate power, and the right LED flashes when it’s looking for a transmitter, then turns on (solid) when it finds one.

Good so far?

Now, on the transmitter, when it’s powered on, both the red (labeled “ANALOG”) and green (labeled “NEGCON”) LEDs flash - and never stop flashing, nor turn solid. Is this normal?

What do these LEDs on the transmitter indicate?

Thanks,
Eric

The RC-01 V2 does not have any instructions on its own because it needs to be connected to a microcontroller. We have instructions for how to use it with the Bot Board and the BotBoarduino.

Power = one LED lit
Connection with transmitter established = both LEDs lit
One LED lit and one flashing = powered, but no connection established.

Correct

Normal.

We’ll get back to you on that.

The ANALOG LED should signal if the closest analogue stick if ON or OFF (for playing old style games), and the NEGCON should light up solid when the link is established.

I must be missing something. When I look at for example the one for the Botboarduino (lynxmotion.com/images/html/b … tm#aglance), the instructions still look like the V1 type instructions?

I would expect to see something like: use the two servo extension wires, connect them to the pins on the receiver, and the the other end to pins…

What does it mean if both never stop flashing?

We never pay too much attention to those LEDs, but it might mean that you do not have enough power to power the controller (and thus it switches ON and OF continually).
