controlling leds doesn't work for my device 😿

[wbolster]

heya 👋🏼, stumbled upon this project. i just tried it out to see if i can light up my roli lightpad block.

running on up-to-date linux laptop/. installation works, the systemd unit starts fine, udev uaccess permissions work (yes i replugged), but somehow controlling the leds fail.

running the daemon in the foreground:

$ blocksd run --foreground --verbosee

(last line repeats over and over again every ~2 seconds)

from a different terminal, trying to make the thing light up in solid red:

$ blocksd led solid ff0000

the roli block shows this:

… with some white animation thingy flowing down repeatedly (phone camera decided to rotate these pics 🤷🏼):

any clue what's wrong? help appreciated!
