    R2 is up and running is there a way to turn off the LED on the printer? I checked through as much as I could and was unable to find how to turn them off

    so i think the LED wire is grey and blue, and plugged into fan 3, maybe the g-code command for turning off fan 3 on the robo board would work? (not sure what that would be though)

    Maybe an M360 will dump out the settings and you can check if there is something for lights in there =/

    If the GITHUB for Robo's modifications of Marlin is current, there are no M-codes for accessing case lights or RGB LEDs, that came to Marlin post RC8 and it seems as Robo's firmware is based on RC6.

    While it is hard to say without more docs, the Marlin GCodes are going to presume that the LEDs are tied to the correct I/O ports on the RAMPS (or whatever the equivalent is for the R2/C2) and on the C2 I pretty certain that is not the case (my tear down did not show anything that looked like that). Now, they COULD have been tied into the Pi, but I don't think that is true either. At least then you could control it via the LCD.

    So yeah sorry i meant to post back after my print had finished and i ran the codes through, they didn't work, i started thinking about looking for the right pin but decided against it, i can tell you they are not plugged into the pi, pretty damn certain they are on fan header 3, (or the robo boards sticker that says fan3)
