I recieved and built my kit (BMX - 4k memory) the other day. When I put some batteries in, the lights scrolled, then the outside LED on one side lit up and on the other side one of the middle LEDs lit up.
I plugged it into the computer, and uploaded the biohazard image to bank 1. I realized I had forgotten to change the config to 22 LEDs so I changed it and sent the image to bank 1 again. It wrote fine but took 206 seconds each time. When I clicked the Verify button, the check failed. When I clicked the Read button, the program froze at address 0.
I installed the spokepov on my bike (really tough fit--i have 64 spokes) and tried it out, but nothing happened. I put the magnet within 5mm of the hall sensor, and tried both sides of the magnet, but all it showed was 1 glowing LED on each side. The LED on one side sometimes changes when I wave the magnet over the sensor or press the button.
1) why does the LED on the one side change randomly sometimes when I wave the magnet or press the button?
2) does it not work because I uploaded an image to Bank 1 only?
3) is the marked side of the magnet supposed to point towards the sensor?
4) would fresh batteries make a difference?
SpokePOV not working properly

Re: SpokePOV not working properly
try doing hard/soft resets. you may have not uploaded the code properly. check that the eeprom is in right, and your soldering is good.Sovi3t wrote:
