monochron clock buttons not working
I recently was given the monochron clock kit to build. I am very new to soldering and metering. The display works great and the brightness can be changed. The red led light stays on no matter what position the switch is in. The clock brings up the screen to set the time and the buttons will not work.

Post photos of the front and back of the board and we'll check your assembly.

Re: monochron clock buttons not working
For the buttons to work well, the resistors R3, R4, R5 and R6 must all be soldered well. Some of the solder joints on these resistors so look a bit suspicious. Review this guide: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guid ... n-problems And touch up all the solder joints associated with the buttons and resistors.
