    Hi, I have been trying to get my blackbox to work, but when I turn it on, the only thing that happens is a red light turns on. Can you help?

    Check your power supply polarity. Incorrect polarity will light the Power LED red. NB Check ALL wiring before turning power on, mistakes can cause damage.

    You got off lucky this time :) - please recheck everything before you continue. Limit switch wiring, etc if done wrong can short v+ to GND killing your controller.
