Topic: leds flashing.

It seems my LEDs flash a little bit, like their just isn't enough power (I think it might be when the bed is heating, but I havn't done any tests)

It's pretty subtle , but I thought I'd ask in case it's a problem with my machine, or normal operation.

Re: leds flashing.

Ive seen that with mine a bit, like a small power fluctuation.

I don't think its a problem.

Re: leds flashing.

Probably fluctuations in power when the controller board is controlling the stepper motors at varying speeds, more load and such.

This is unusual, but I don't think it necessarily constitutes a problem.
