Dead Teensy 3.0 after 5mn of usage?

Post by yanhey »

Hi,

I've just received and started with Teensy 3.0 received this week from Adafruit. After some initial setup (soldering header, Arduino IDE) and some testing, Teensy blinks as expected. I then felt ready to go little bit further and tried connecting string a 4 NeoPixel (breadboard kit from Adafruit). I loaded the strandtest from NeoPxel library and successfully loaded to Teensy. It works for about 5mn and then blackout... Teensy no longer answer to upload, reset, unplug-plug. I tested power pins and expected 5v and 3.3v are present on board pins... but Teensy looks dead.

Any idea on how to get closer to problem isolation? Did I get a bad Teensy board?

Thanks,

Yanick.

Any signs of life at all? LED activity?
Post a photo showing your soldering on the board.
