So our LED strip is having problems is it required for the LED strip to light up to tell us what container we need or can we use a different strategy to find out the correct container for each task

Yes, the LED ring is a requirement and should be an easy thing to replace. I believe you ordered a new one so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have problems wiring it up. I also wanted to share this tutorial on some of the Mission 1 logic:

These should work:

Make sure you get the 144 LED/meter version. That is what we use on DEXI. Also, when you get them they can be cut at specific places marked on the strip. Make sure you cut off 44 LEDs which is the number we have to fit on our LED ring mount.

@Ryan_DroneBlocks please jump in if I’ve missed anything.
