Hello @kylrth ,

I just added your configuration file 2131e93, and looking similar models I think that it will not work but I have some doubts. Can you test it and make me return?

Best regards,
rsm

@kylrth, well, I guess that I need to code a feature for the installation without a display... can you open a new bug for that? I'll tag it as enhacement and I'll try to find some time to provide a fix or a work-around

Thank you! The ./setup script works now. Now when I try to run sudo akbl --off I get the following output:

The same occurs when I try to use the Python bindings.

A while ago I placed some tape between the contacts for some of the lights, in order to cut the power to them completely. Could this be the cause of the USBError?

Hello @kylrth ,

To debug the software use the block testing window. It will tell you if there is any USBError,
