Tweet a watt not stabilizing

Post by fricna »

Hi all,

I've assembled the tweet a watt device but it never stabilizes after being plugged in. It powers on briefly and then the xbee led blinks once and the device resets.

Has anyone experienced this and do you know what the problem is?

Much thanks.

a few people had this problem
it tends to be that they didnt set the xbee variables correctly
OR
the 220uF reset capacitor is not soldered in properly

This behavior also can indicate that the XBee didn't get programmed correctly and is trying to be powered up continuously. I'd try *that* first.

EDIT: Like Limor said just below.
