Default USA PF Brick question

Richard, my experience with all our bricks is that it is not necessary
to put CAPS in the filename.
flarmcfg.txt
works just fine.

I've been getting familiar with my PowerFLARM brick and Butterfly

display before installing it. I created a flarmcfg.txt file and
loaded it using a USB stick. The file loads ok as confirmed by the
configuration indicating my glider ICAO address. However, after the
expected flashing green/red LED sequence, the LED ends up being amber
which is supposed to indicate the start-up sequence is still active.
The unit operates normally and detects traffic. The LED stays amber
whether the stick is removed or not. On the next power up with memory
stick removed, the LED ends up being green and the ICAO address is
retained. Anyone else see this amber LED after loading? If so, do you
have an explanation? thanks, GY

Andy,

Make sure the file is named FLARMcfg.txt caps/small.
