TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: I can't flash a program onto my micro:bit
Solution: First check that the micro:bit's power LED is lit. If it isn't try a different
USB port or USB lead. If the micro:bit is receiving power, but you can't see the
micro:bit drive on your computer, then you may be using a 'power only' USB cable.
Try a different cable.
Problem: The LED isn't lit on the MonkMakes Relay for micro:bit even though I
think it's connected correctly.
Solution: This is normal. The LED on the Relay will only light when the relay is
activated.
Problem: The project doesn't work, but I'm pretty sure I have the right program
uploaded and all the wiring looks good. What can I do?
Solution: If you have checked everything and can't find a problem, then it is
possible that one of the alligator leads is broken – this can happen if they are over-
flexed. Try and think about which lead might be faulty. For example if the LED in the
MonkMakes logo for the Sensor or Speaker are not lit, then try swapping out the
power leads (3V and GND) from the micro:bit.
Problem: The LED bulb does not light. Make sure that you have the polarity
correct, using the wiring diagram and if that does not work, try a fresh AA cell.
