[SOLVED] Gamebuino NOT charging/too much USB power/TX RX ON
Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2016 2:49 pm
Dear all, today I received my new Gamebuino after a long wait! However I cannot seem to be able to charge it - I've tried to connect it to my Apple MacBook, but the charge light does not light up - also the Mac says that there is too much power being drawn from the USB port. I have also tried to charge it from a wall adaptor USB charger - same problem with it not charging.
Another thing I noticed, since first switch on is that both the TX and RX leds are constantly lit, and that the power light is very dim by comparison. (The RX light now seems to have switched off, with the TX light constantly on). Everything else is functioning well. I have done th C button to re-flash the loader, but this made no difference.
The battery started out at around 3700mV and is now at critical 3551mV!!! I'm starting to panic - PLEEEASE somebody help!
Many thanks,
Leonskibeat
