Problem with new lynx express
« on: October 31, 2011, »
This is my first lynx express. Just finished the assembly. The two LEDS (5 and 3.3) light up fine but I have a dimly lit number six LED and the display does not work. Pressing and holding reset turns off the number six LED but it dimly lights again when I release the button.

I have not programmed the chip yet.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Greetings,,,

That should change for the better after you program the chip.

make sure you look at your solder joint where the led are dim .. i had the same problem on 1 led ans i guess i had cold fusion as i re heat the defect joint and voila everything work flawless ... as i was told yesterday ... the chip were program by RJ so i don't think it is the chip program ...
