MintyBoost v3
I Built the kit a while back and it didn't work but I've came back to it trying to see what I did wrong. If anyone could help me figure out what I might of did wrong it would help a lot thanks. :D

Re: MintyBoost v3
The assembly looks good from what we can see. What are you using to power it? When powered, what voltage are you seeing at the output?

I’m using the included AA Holder with 2 Alkaline battery’s that are both 1.5v. I don’t have a tool right now to measure the voltage of it.

Re: MintyBoost v3
Looking closer at the photo, there are a couple of solder joints that look like they may not have flowed well onto the solder pad. You also have one resistor connection where the solder did not wet the lead wire. This guide has some tips on identifying and fixing common problems such as these: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-gui ... n-problems
Other than that, we'll probably need to get some voltage measurements to diagnose the problem.
