note

LED functionality is available with firmware version 2.7.0 and newer.

Reach Module boot LED sequence

Reach Module LED is an RGB LED that cycles through a simple pattern:

Network state -> App state

During boot Reach Module will go through 3 steps:

  • Network scan
  • Time sync
  • Emlid Flow launch

Network scan

During boot, Reach Module enters a network scan state in which it will try to connect to any known Wi-Fi networks it can find. This might result in connecting to a previously added network or creating its own hotspot.

Time sync

After network configuration is done, magenta blinks will be added to the LED. They are shown during time sync.

caution

The app will not launch until the time sync is complete. Internet connection allows this to happen automatically, but in hotspot mode Reach Module requires a connected antenna with some satellite visibility.

Emlid Flow launch and operation

After the time sync is done, the magenta blinks stop and Emlid Flow is launched. Green solid light will take its place, showing app start. You can see several additional states:
