What should I do if my product is flashing red?

If your problem manifests itself in the same way as in the gif:



First, you need to charge the batteries. This can be done using a charger suitable for the battery type used in the product.
Our products use rechargeable batteries of the 18650 type or smaller rechargeable batteries of the 14500 type (they are also called AA rechargeable batteries).
How to choose the right batteries can be found in our article on batteries:

If this does not help, then you need to check the memory card located in the controller:

It is also necessary to check the memory card for errors. Use a microSD to USB adapter or a respective slot in a laptop to connect the memory card to your computer. If the computer recognizes the memory card but cannot open it, you need to erase all data on the memory card. To do this, you need to format it. Video instructions on formatting memory cards can be viewed here: Formatting settings: FAT32 file system. Copy all files for the controller from our Amazon cloud drive. The link to the cloud drive is usually provided together with instructions for creating new effects in Madrix. Contact ETEREshop managers if you do not have a link to the cloud drive. You can also use your own backup copy on your computer if you have one.

Please don't forget to unzip the downloaded archive. At the root of the memory card, there should be text files located at your link.
If the computer does not recognize the memory card, you need to replace memory card. You can try taking a memory card from a spare controller if available. If the problem is not resolved, chances are high that the controller's microSD slot has been damaged. In this case, repair or use of a spare controller is required.
