I have only got a green LED flashing is this correct

I have just completed and started up the Nanode RF board and I only seem to get a Green LED flashing - is this correct? It appears that the board should flash both. Fairly sure its running code as the intitial start 'on' period is lightly longer than the normal 'on' period. Can you shed any light on this please? (excuse the Pun). I have never seen the red LED on and cannot measure any voltage across it. (I don't think it a faulty LED.)

If you have flashed your NanodeRF with one of the default sketches, and are picking radio data from a sender (like emonTx), things are working just fine. The green led should blink everytime a radio packet is received.

The red led will come on when an error occurs: no radio data received after 30 s or network error (DHCP, DNS or no reply from server it is posting to)

If you start your nanodeRF without the network cable connected, the red light shoul come on after a few seconds

Thank you. I think I was misinterpreting the LED's. Anyway I've loaded some example sketches and changed the pin numbers and have proved that they work OK, so now I am moving onto loading the network software, Getting a compiler error with wire.send but I expect I'll work it out .
