Thank you for opening an issue on an Adafruit Arduino library repository. To
|
||
|
|
improve the speed of resolution please review the following guidelines and
|
||
|
|
common troubleshooting steps below before creating the issue:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Do not use GitHub issues for troubleshooting projects and issues.** Instead use
|
||
|
|
the forums at http://forums.adafruit.com to ask questions and troubleshoot why
|
||
|
|
something isn't working as expected. In many cases the problem is a common issue
|
||
|
|
that you will more quickly receive help from the forum community. GitHub issues
|
||
|
|
are meant for known defects in the code. If you don't know if there is a defect
|
||
|
|
in the code then start with troubleshooting on the forum first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **If following a tutorial or guide be sure you didn't miss a step.** Carefully
|
||
|
|
check all of the steps and commands to run have been followed. Consult the
|
||
|
|
forum if you're unsure or have questions about steps in a guide/tutorial.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **For Arduino projects check these very common issues to ensure they don't apply**:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For uploading sketches or communicating with the board make sure you're using
|
||
|
|
a **USB data cable** and **not** a **USB charge-only cable**. It is sometimes
|
||
|
|
very hard to tell the difference between a data and charge cable! Try using the
|
||
|
|
cable with other devices or swapping to another cable to confirm it is not
|
||
|
|
the problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Be sure you are supplying adequate power to the board.** Check the specs of
|
||
|
|
your board and plug in an external power supply. In many cases just
|
||
|
|
plugging a board into your computer is not enough to power it and other
|
||
|
|
peripherals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Double check all soldering joints and connections.** Flakey connections
|
||
|
|
cause many mysterious problems. See the [guide to excellent soldering](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering/tools) for examples of good solder joints.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Ensure you are using an official Arduino or Adafruit board.** We can't
|
||
|
|
guarantee a clone board will have the same functionality and work as expected
|
||
|
|
with this code and don't support them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
