Maestro not powering LED, help needed….

Right now I have a six channel maestro servo controller that is powering (1) Mg90s servo, (1) Mg996r servo & (1) 3.2v blue LED.

When I run my project through the control center from my laptop everything works, both servos work and the LED lights up, it also works when I play the sequence or run the script, so there’s no issues there.

But for some reason when I Put my project together and run it off of the 12 V battery through a 5 V step down converter…the script works, the servos function but the LED does not light up.

I have been pulling my hair out as to why just the LED isn’t working.

Hello.

Can you clarify how you have your power connected? Are you powering both the Maestro logic and the servo power rail from your 5V regulator?

Could you post some pictures of your setup that show all of your connections? Also, could you post a copy of your Maestro settings file? You can save a copy of your settings file form the “FIle” drop-down menu of the Maestro Control Center while the controller is connected.
