Ice Tube Clock: 5V + ATmega, no beep

Post by Metro »

Hi,

I am building the Ice Tube Clock kit. After assembling 5V powersupply, ATmega, and buzzer, there is no beep.

How can I check whether the ATmega is correctly programmed? Power supply checks out OK.

Post photos of the front and back of your board so we can check your assembly.

The assembly looks pretty clean so far. A mis-programmed chip is a reasonable diagnosis. Contact [email protected] with a link to this thread and ask for a replacement Ice Tube Processor.

Received and installed new chip: it now beeps as expected.

Thanks,
