Green LED doesn't flash (yet another topic :))

Post by OvOnyx »

Hello, I'm a total newbie. I bought this kit to (re)learn how to solder.
I'm at the point in the instructions where I should see the green led blink and it doesn't.

I tried to measure some stuff to see if my solders were bad but I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
Do you have some hint about checking everything's ok, please ?

Here are some pictures (it starts to be messy because I insisted on each solder to be sure) :
