I recently purchased a CC3000 shield and tried to run the buildtest. However, CC3000 is not initializing. It's not able to read the firmware version.
Hello, CC3000!

Please post clear, detailed pictures of both sides of the shield, showing your soldering.

Re: CC3000 doesn't work
Soldering looks good. Can you try closing the solder jumpers on the bottom of the board and see if it works that way? It's shouldn't be necessary, but let's try it, just to be complete.
If it still doesn't work, Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement CC3000 shield.

I tried soldering the jumpers, but the CC3000 is still not detected.
