So... i just finished my microcontroller and i dont hae the proper equipment to test it. So... i plugged in the battery pack(6v) but nothing happened. Is that good?
-
Did every thing check out with the voltages and can you program the mcu?
-
?... I havent tried programing it yet i wasnt sure if the led was supposed to light up or anything
Also adding to this... It might be the battery pack because it is an old one I found ... How could I test that??
-
As per zillions of previous posts - the LED is not a power LED. It only lights if your program tells it to light.
Sorry - dont mean to be -ve - but this stuff has been covered and is searchable.

Sorry but I read through the $50 robot tutotrial and im not sure how i can tell if it actually works or not??
The other thing is that if i do plug it in my copmuter and it is broken will it do any damage???
-
nope. unless the micro is so shot it flames. but then thats normaly obvious cause is gets really hot.
oh and the damage is from the fire ;)

Ok thankyou ... So I guess I will start programing
