Servos not turning on - Blue button
The Blue servo light indicates that the servos have been turned on. If this won’t illuminate that means that the E-Stop string is open or there is a problem with the drives or the control. If you hear the servos engage (1CR is energized) when the button is pressed, but the blue light is off, replace the bulb (#53 miniature bayonet).
