Help

Post by ianlee74 »

I just finished assembling my first SpokePOV and put some batteries in and all the lights on one side showed up and some on the other side light up. If I pop the battery in and out then different lights will be lit. The microcontroller gets very hot if I leave it on for more than 10 sec or so. All of the solders look great. I've checked and all the components are oriented correctly. Any other ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks!

Ian

You were right... It was the microcontroller. Easy fix. Thanks!
