During system bootup, the red OK / SF and HPE / ES LEDs are lit and the red
FW / HD LED blinks. After system bootup, the OK / SF LED should show green.
If the HPE / ES LED shows red, the E-Stop circuit is open. During SD card reads
and writes, the FW / HD LED pulses red. When a robot is connected on one of
the SmartServo ports, the FW / HD LED shows green.
