Status update: Re-reading the wiki section on how current draw for LEDs can be high, I installed a 5V UBEC thinking that might solve the problem. It did not. The LEDs still don't light up. Can anyone help me? Now that the LED circuit is on a BEC I don't know what else to do. |

I installed 4x Matek 2182-8Slim LED strips. According to my multimeter I don't have any shorts, and I have good connectivity between all the grounds. And good connectivity between all the 5Vs. The D-out pads are connected to the D-in pads on the next strip, with no shorts detected between them.
I tested the voltage with the battery plugged in, and each strip is seeing 5V. I thought I enabled everything correctly in the configurator, but this is the first time I have tried to install LEDs. It's completely possible that I have missed something. Are they set to only turn on when the quad is armed? I'm indoors and haven't gotten GPS lock. The wiki page at https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/LedStrip.md seemed to indicate that with this configuration, the LEDs should just be "on," at all times. But it's possible I misunderstood. I don't know what I'm doing.
I typed "LED" in the CLI and this is what it returned.

Is there an error message I could look for? What's going on?
