Second Aether 2 phail...
« on: August 15, 2012, »

I got my first Aether 2 built and after cleaning up one solder joint on the LED, all is well.  The second effort, however, hasn't been as promising.

After completing the build, when I first power up, I get a brief flash of green.  When I toggle the switches, I get a brief flash of green.  Anything I seem to do, I get a brief flash of green.

Any idea what gives?  I can't take pics right now, but I'll double check all my solders later today...hoping someone has a quick idea...

IIRC, one of mine from last year did this as well.  I found a tiny solder bridge from led pad and screw near the pad which holds led to heat sink.  Maybe that's it? Phixed pretty quick.   ;D
Sam, who is happy he flashed his etherdongle with newest firmware!
