Buttons and LEDs

Controls on the Radxa ZERO 3W + PiSugar 3 build.

Top button

GestureAction
PressSearch for the phone. In Local mode, ends Local mode.
Hold, then releaseLocal mode: the box broadcasts its own Wi-Fi so the phone reaches the box page without a router. With no phone saved yet, this is Setup mode.

The box acts about a second after you let go: the PiSugar 3 reports a hold only on release.

Factory reset

Reset proves you are next to the box:

  1. Start a reset on the box page.
  2. Press the top button the number of times the page shows (5 to 8).
  3. After 2 seconds without a press, the reset is armed. Hold the top button within 30 seconds to erase the box.

A wrong count, a hold during the count or a timeout cancels it. A Raspberry Pi box without the button asks you to type the box name instead.

Power button

OpenLolo keeps the PiSugar 3 defaults. Power on with a short press, then press and hold. A long press cuts power at once.

A long press is not a clean shutdown. Shut down from the box page when you can.
