SpokePov troubleshooting
i put together a spokepov kit and i get an IO error at 0. i looked over all the soldering and didnt mess anything and nothing is shorting so im wondering what the problem could be. i noticed though that one of the pins on the upload header on the main pcb, not the dongle pcb, is a little higher than the rest so i was thinking maybe its not actually making contact with anything. all i was wondering if i would be able to tell if the proc is messed up. the board does the little LED test where it lights all of em up consecutively. does that mean the proc is fine? any other ideas?

well i would check that the 'higher' pin is actually soldered. that could definately make it not work. do a continuity test. on all the pins and the parallel port connector.ice109 wrote:i put together a spokepov kit and i get an IO error at 0. i looked over all the soldering and didnt mess anything and nothing is shorting so im wondering what the problem could be. i noticed though that one of the pins on the upload header on the main pcb, not the dongle pcb, is a little higher than the rest so i was thinking maybe its not actually making contact with anything. all i was wondering if i would be able to tell if the proc is messed up. the board does the little LED test where it lights all of em up consecutively. does that mean the proc is fine? any other ideas?
if the LEDs light up when you put in the battery then the processor is pretty much OK.
