What was once smooth has stopped. I've double/tripple checked wiring. I turned on DEBUG_MODE in debug.h to (1) ... on...
The last debug statement I get on the serial monitor is:
Hello, CC3000!
RX Buffer : 131 bytes
TX Buffer : 131 bytes
Free RAM: 1237
Initialising the CC3000 ...
before init_spi()
CC3000: init_spi
CC3000: Finished init_sp
can someone please help let me know if this points to something obvious or has the chip/breakout board stopped working - or suggestions for debugging?
thank you.
cc3000 stopped working?

Please post clear, detailed pictures showing your soldering and wiring.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
Same story for me!
Recently I got my new CC3000 shield from you and successfully played with examples. On the next day the shield stopped working. The power LED and LED 13 on Arduino board blink rapidly on power-on, when CC3000 shield is on top. The output in serial monitor is exactly the same as the user "sketchy" has shown. Somehow I managed to get CC3000 working again (no idea what lead to recovery) and the shield worked successfully whole day, but stopped again in the evening with same symptoms. I enabled debug mode and now I see in the console:
My pictures with soldering are here.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
Igor - indeed - you are seeing what I saw. I did not have permission to view your image though.
Rick - Here are images of my wiring.

...um not sure if the pictures are "good enough" wiring follows what is here: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc30 ... 0-breakout
does this: CC3000: ReadWlanInterruptPin - 001
mean the irq is not being read? (pin 3)...which I have wired but...

@igor - I can't see your pictures
@sketchy - I can't see your pictures either.
You can use the 'Upload Attachments' tab to upload and post photos directly to the forum.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
BTW, I use Seeeduino v3.0 board, maybe it does matter.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
None of those debug messages necessarily indicate an error.
What sketches are you both trying to run?
Have you downloaded and installed the latest version of the library?

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
library: 9/25/2013 (assume this is the latest)
sketch: buildtest.ino (ran many times. used board for something else. then put back on with wiring. i assumed either wiring or hw issue..hoping where stopped in library gives clue to what is wrong (considering it goes partially through then seems to get hung in reading IRQ?)

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
@sketchy - time to start swapping jumpers, I think. Maybe move to a different part of the breadboard, too.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
I tried a different breadboard. Different wires. Different Arduino...and bummer...same thing happens. The library seems to be able to talk to the cc3000 to get the tx and rx buffer size - but not get through SPI initialization?
Also - I'll take this opportunity to show just how little I know. I checked the voltage with multimeter and that's all good.
I was hoping the following would check the current (i.e.: i inserted the multimeter probes by cutting a wire and putting one end on each of the probes)...?:

@Sketchy - let's try replacing the CC3000. Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread.

I try to run buildtest sketch from latest version of the library from github.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
Also I tried different USB cables, different Arduino's (Stalker and Nano) and tried to use jumper-wires and got same result.

Re: cc3000 stopped working?
Hey Rick,
THANK YOU. You and the rest of Adafruit are exceptional. I emailed support, support emailed me back immediately with steps to get a replacement. Again - thank you.
