Something happened to my controller, I was trying to to upload a code and something went wrong.
The screen doesnt light up, the green LED is on and the red one keeps blinking, some outlets are on and some arent.
What should I do?

Try unplugging and leave it off for a few seconds and turn it on again.
Does it bring it back?

No, it does the same. I was uploading the code; I have a mac and I think I bumped the trackpad and I think that cliked on upload again.
Btw now none of the outlets are on.

Is the controller just blinking now and nothing in the screen?
Try disconnecting everything to bare minimum. Does it make a difference?
Do you have RA or RA+?
If you have RA+, try connecting the head unit disconnected from the relay box using the usb power cable.

Got it working, I noticed the size of the code went from 43 to 32....I guess when I bumped the trackpad i deleted stuff from the code right before I mistakenly hit upload. I did try uploading the preloaded code but did not work....probably one of the steps described above combined with a fresh code helped.
Thank you
btw I have the RA+
