Shields Power UP But Wont Activate, Need Help

Post by Herner »

Newbie to arduino and have officially soldered 2 projects, specifically two cc3000 shields this afternoon which leads to my question.

I soldered them fairly well i think ( attached photo ) and they power up no problem but when I try to run the board test they spit back a string at me that gets larger over time making me think the board is trying to interact and having some sort of failure. The string is;

The code I used to test the cc3000 shield is the official adafruit buildtest which I downloaded today. Thanks to everyone who reads and can help.

Make sure your serial terminal baud rate is set to 115200 or change line 61 in the program.

I am so pleased to say that your fix worked and that my soldering job worked and all I needed was the correct baud rate :) You made my afternoon.
