CC3000 hangs at "Initialising the CC3000..." / initializing

Post by ascarygnome »

My CC3000 has been working okay (required watchdog and resets very often) and now it gets hung up at "Initialising the CC3000 ...".
Build test results:
Hello, CC3000!

RX Buffer : 131 bytes
TX Buffer : 131 bytes
Free RAM: 1215

Initialising the CC3000 ...
Hooked up to an Arduino UNO, 9V 2.4A source, USB also connected, 1.0.6 IDE, 1.14 CC3000 driver/firmware.

What can i do?
Thanks, Anthony

And since im sure someone will ask, sorry about the quality:

Have you tried different jumper wires? Moving around on the breadboard? It's some kind of connection issue, and your soldering looks ok (thanks for the picture!)

Ah, yep, I've tried all that. Originally was in a homemade circuit board (where the Arduino isn't required, just using the Atmega 328) for a couple months, working fine, then... "initialising". So i've switched it to the breadboard and have been trying different wires, breadboards, wiggilin' things, checking and rechecking my connections, and still gets hung up.

Thanks again!

Our warranty period is 30 days, so you're a bit outside of that. Sorry.

Oh dang. Now im scared to buy another. have any estimated life spans of these things? ive been using exactly as directed.
Also, i recommend deburring these chips, ouch!

Thanks anyway, Anthony

What are you using for a power source and what output do you get if you turn on debugging?

I have it connected to USB and an AC-DC adaptor putting 9.0V 2.5A to the barrel jack.
And here is the serial output with debugging on (changed line in debug.h utility library to: #define DEBUG_MODE (1)):
Hello, CC3000!

RX Buffer : 131 bytes

Looks like it simply failed on you. We really haven't seen any of this sort of thing with these.
