Products Not Functioning Properly
If your product is not working as expected, try these troubleshooting steps first:
-
Clean the connectors:
Wipe the connectors with a clean, soft cloth. If needed, carefully wipe all connectors in the kit—this often resolves connection issues. -
Check the power source:
Switch in a fresh battery or, if using a USB adapter, ensure it’s plugged into an outlet. Some modules draw more power than others, so a stronger power source may help.
Test Your Circuit
After cleaning and checking power, assemble a simple test circuit:
Power (Blue Bits) > Input (Pink Bits) > Output (Green Bits)
For example: P1 Power > i6 Dimmer > o9 Bargraph
-
Turning the dimmer to the right should light up the bargraph LEDs from left to right.
