Faulty Housing?

[Olivier Alexandre]

Bonjour, Lorsque je connecte mon boitier interface, il passe de vert a orange et lorsque je lance une action il passe en rouge. Pouvez vous me conseiller\

Hello, when I connect my interface box, it changes from green to orange, and when I perform an action, it turns red. Can you advise me?

Sorry this is in English:

The LED on a Pangolin FB3 is actually very useful—it tells you exactly what state the controller is in. Here’s a simple breakdown of what each color means:

---

LED Color Meanings (FB3)​

Solid Green​

• Powered, but not connected to software
• USB is plugged in, but QuickShow or Beyond is NOT actively controlling it yet
  Think: “I’m on, but idle.”

---

Solid Yellow / Orange​

• Connected to software, but not outputting
• The computer sees the FB3, but it’s not actively sending laser data
  Think: “Connected, waiting.”

---

Red (Flashing Slow)​

• Online, but no active cue/output
• Everything is connected correctly, but nothing is playing
  Think: “Ready, but nothing running.”

---

Red (Flashing Fast)​

• Actively outputting to the laser
• A cue, timeline, or effect is running
  Think: “Laser show is live.”

---

Yellow (Flashing)​

• Output disabled / fault condition
• Common causes:
  • License issue
  • Safety interlock (E-stop)
  • Settings problem
    Think: “Something’s blocking output.”

---

White​

• Firmware update in progress
  Don’t unplug it here!

A short version in French:
C’est en fait un comportement normal :


Vert = branché
Orange = logiciel connecté
Rouge = vous avez lancé une animation → sortie active


Donc, à moins que vous ne voyiez pas de sortie laser, votre FB3 fonctionne probablement correctement.

This is actually normal behavior:

Green = plugged in
Orange = software connected
Red = you have launched an animation → output active

So, unless you don't see any laser output, your FB3 is probably working correctly.
