Re: tinkerBOY Controller v3.0 Prototype #1

Well on a pc it works as intended but on the Pi not really. You say you've tested the chip with numerous devices but all separately I assume. Try hooking up the Atmega32u4 and one of the devices you tested like the usb drive and see how well it works. I've been using and testing it on a Pi zero wit...

Re: Pi zero won’t start up all of a sudden

check the power connections going into the pi, (the black and red wires on PP1 and PP6). Try removing those and plug it in with a micro USB only, see if that helps. Do you have photos of where those wires go on the powerboost, to confirm they are wired properly there too, if you have the polarity r...
