Ok, I copied the program and uploaded it, the LED stays dark. :(

I am using the M5Stack-ATOM Board, I don't know if I have to use another one. But I couldn't find the "M5Stack-ATOM LITE". Do I need this?

The M5Atom library is up to date version 0.0.7.

It seems that there is an issue on git....

I tried to downgrade to M5Atom Version 0.0.5 - didn't work. I also downgraded FastLED to 3.3.3 (from 3.4.0) with current M5Atom version 0.0.7- YES IT DID WORK!!!!!

Thank you VERY MUCH @felmue for your hint which led me to the right direction!

@felmue said in ATOM Lite - broker status LED? (with two devices):

delay(50);

Thanks, I'll try that...

Hi all!

I would really appreciate your help. I am new to M5Stack devices and tried to program an IR/WLAN gateway. When I programmed with my first device, I didn't realize that the status LED is not working any more. It worked at the beginning - I am sure. Then, with the same program I tried it on teh second device where the LED turned on with the first plug in of USB cable.
Now, also the second device LED is probably brokern.

I tried the simple demos blink.ino etc but could not get the LEDs running.

My program looks as follows:

#include <M5Atom.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiMulti.h>

I use the Arduino IDE and tried to get the IR Unit running. The functionality is there, so my gateway is working. But when I order new ATOM LITEs I'd like to know which failure I did....

Thanx
