Minty Boost

Post by kb2piz »

Hi,

I'm an experienced kit builder and put together the Minty Boost kit according to the directions (version 1.1). I have fresh batteries with a measured output of 1.45+ volts each.

Symptoms are the Ipod Shuffle charge light pulses on and off two times and then remains off. What voltages should I check to make sure I put it together correctly.

I do not see any bad traces or solder bridges and all connections are shiny and bright.

Is there a published trouble shooting guide so I can trace the voltage through the minty boost to trouble shoot?

Thanks//Mark

Have you checked to make sure the minty is putting out 5 volts? That would be the first thing I would check. Also, what position is the resistor? Pull up or pull down?
