Bought this:
http://www.adafruit.com/products/636
Used to work. Now it doesn't. Microcapture program only shows a gray screen now. Also one of the LEDs has been burned out since it arrived. Didn't think that was a big deal, but read this thread:
http://www.adafruit.com/forums/viewtopi ... microscope
where you say: "it sounds like you have an LED that's shorted out and is drawing more current than the system wants it to have"
so maybe that's part of the issue. No clue.
Thanks.

Re: Broken Microscope.
When did you purchase the scope? I don't see you in our customer database.

Re: Broken Microscope.
The microscope was purchased in early February 2013.

Re: Broken Microscope.
Yeah I have bought three of these things. Two of which also to are fried. I guess I am going to try sending them back.
I like the price and it works well for my application so I will roll the dice a buy a couple of more, but I little worried about the quality of this product.
