What LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Hub Lights Are Trying to Tell You

Mar 2025

The Center Button Light

Green

‍

The hub is turned on, running firmware that is compatible with the SPIKE App, and the battery is charged to at least 20%. If your hub has stopped working while the button is green, it may have disconnected. Restart the hub by holding down the center button for approximately 3 seconds.

‍

‍

White

‍

The hub is running firmware that is not compatible with the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App. The SPIKE App should prompt you to update the firmware.

Red

‍

If your hub is flashing red, there may be a problem with your hub or with the program it was trying to run. Try finding the error in your program and updating it. If that doesn’t work, restart the Hub by holding down the center button for approximately 3 seconds.

A flashing red light can also mean that there’s an extended load on the hub. Turn off the hub and let it cool down for 15 minutes.

If the hub light is flashing orange, the battery is running low (under 20%). Connect it to your device via the USB cable to charge.
