I did this mod. Use the diode but the lights weren't bright enough for me. I even placed the wire infront of the resistor.

Also it would make the coolrunner stop glitching after. About 5 attempts.

Hey guys. I did this mod earlier tonight using the controller 4 led and everything went fine. But what I'm wondering is, is there a way to wire it so that you can make all 4 quadrants flash at once?. I tried wiring it with 2 wires and 2 diodes running off the 68ohm resistor on the CR and it DID make the 2 quadrants flash properly but it would only glitch a couple times and then stop. So I'm assuming that wiring it that way is a no go as it must be pulling too much power away from the CR or something. BTW this is on a SLIM.

Another version of this mod I'm wondering is possible is to wire it in such a way that the middle red led will flash while debugging but at the same time the middle green light gets turned off when the red turns on and vise versa? I tried wiring it to just the red led and it wouldn't even turn on. Wondering if it has something to do with the green (left led) being on at the same time?
Anybody know?

I have the SLIM RF. Are there different revisions of the slim RF's too or is it just the phats that have different ones? If the slim ones are also different let me know and I will get some pics of the front and rear of my RF board a little later.

yes, there are a couple different revisions on the slim RF modules as well as the phat

Slims new different versions as well. Check the sticker on the pcb post the version.

Ok heres pics of my slim's RF board (front and rear) and How I currently have it wired so it flashes controller 1's lights on the ROL when it debugs. Hopefully someone will know a way that I can have all 4 quadrants blink at once without making the CR spaz out. When I soldered 2 wires to the 68ohm resistor the CR didnt like it and after 1-2 glitches it would freak out and start rapidly pulsing the reset but no debug light (could hear the fan like it was being pulsed with power). And yes I removed the debug LED not because I had to but just cuz I wanted to see if i could since its not really needed anymore if ur gonna use the front panel lights:biggrin::tongue:

well wired this up using my rev a CR to my slim

nothing happened CR still pulses soldering was spot on and the correct place
now i have an issue the slim doesnt boot at all seems like the CR might have been damaged or something its still pulsing and trying but my 100% instant boot slim doesnt glitch at all

gutted

Maybe worth a look over over rf mods of google rf mods to see if there is a 4 quadrant mod that the cr could be made to work with have you tried both circuits red and green to see if one will light any Easyer?

Can you post a pic of you rf and cr as it would be nice to see what model rf you have as 1409 seems to work common ground but 1410 don't seem to work ...have you removed the wire from the rf ?or is it still in place

Unless it shorted out somewhere it should have no negative effect on the CR. the 1410 rev rf board uses nefative pulses which is why it won't blink but it in no way should cause any issues.
