Power issue

I find the centipede to be a wonderful device and certainly easy to use and set up. Love the smooth performance.

I absolutely love my Centipede 416. Thank you for the massive effort that went into design, development, production, and refinement. The 416 is the pinnacle of scene hardware controllers and shows unlimited potential.

This machine is literally light years ahead of anything else on the market.

The Centipede 416 is very well thought out, including the script language, the versatility of control and access methods.

There is nothing on the market that compares with the Centipede 416. I think the biggest advantage of Centipede is all of the non e-Stim features.

I am blown away with the 416's capabilities! The box has a really good feel, I am especially fond of the ramp and random routines included.

Centipede 416 is the most amazing e-stim product I’ve ever seen or experienced. It’s versatility, power, and sophistication combine to take you for a hell of a ride!

I’m having a problem with my 416AC. It won’t stay on.

After powering on, the LED is steady green. After several seconds it very briefly flashes red once, then back to steady green. After several more seconds it powers down. I hooked up a display to watch the console, but nothing stood out. Very shortly after displaying the shell prompt, console messages indicated it had started shutting down.

Roughly about 1 in 10 times it will stay on and functional. I checked /var/logs, and the only logs recently modified were daemon.log, syslog, auth.log, lastlog, and wtmp. Nothing in syslog or daemon.log looked unusual.

Please, any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Thanks,
Scott

The Centipede is programmed to power down automatically unless the power button is held for at least 10 seconds. If you stop holding it down just because the green LED is showing, that is not long enough.

No, this was much later, when the Centipede would normally become available and the indicator would switch to flashing red/yellow.

I finally did find the fix. Apparently I had downloaded firmware updates but never installed them. I haven’t encountered the problem since updating all boards.
