My P3SVGA board is acting up and there is a blinking red light on the board (did not notice that before because the lid was always on). Is the blinking red light bad? If yes, is there something I can do about it? My symptoms are that I am unable to successfully load the FPGAx firmware - it

Hi guys! I searched around a bit nothing conclusive so thought I’d ask. I am needing a foot switch for my K3s which is also connected to my KPA500/KAT500 setup. I purchased a Heil FS-3 however it has a 1/4” phono plug on it and the K3s has an RCA jack (like a dummy I did not look at the back
