Bambu Studio Device Screen Arrow Rotating

Hi All,
Not a major issue but I don’t like things that I don’t understand!
I’m operating an A1 AMS and in Bambu Studio on the Device Screen there is a little circular arrow around the spool number. For some reason the arrow is rotating around the number for one of the spool numbers. I’ve tried to click on it to see if any info would pop up but nothing happens.
Please put me out of my misery and let me know why it is rotating and what I should do to stop it?

Those indicate the spool number.

Each one matches one of your slots on your AMS Lite.

The circular arrow around it is a button.

Press it, and the AMS Lite will try and detect the filament on that specific slot.

Your AMS Lite can detect RFID tags inside Bambu Lab spools, which contain information about the type of material, colour and settings required to print it.

When you add a Bambu Lab spool to your AMS Lite, this process happens automatically. If, for some reason, your spool is not detected, you can press the number button to force another detection attempt.

If you do not use Bambu Lab spools, it does nothing (at least it will try, but never succeeds), as only Bambu Lab spools have the correct RFID tags.

I am not going to kill you, no matter how nice you ask.

it happen to me after I updated the Ai and AMS Lite firmware to latest, i was told that there is a glitch in the latest firmware, to be fix some time in the future and to roll back to a earlier firmware. what firmware are you using for the AI mini and AMS Lite.

Thank you Malc The Oracle and Locoman, I can rest easy now that I think I understand.
Cheers!

I have the same issue. is this what is causing the 2 white lights to blink on the AMS while printing. I get 2 white lights blinking while printing instead of just the color doing the printing.anyone else?

Yes. Roll back firmware to 1.5

is there a site that would have that firmware. thank you

It worked perfectly. Went back to version 1.5 and all.issues resolved. Thank you so much. Since I’m new I’m learning the ways.

Glad it worked. I am old and still learning the ways.
