Hi,
I started a CircuitPython GPS project with the following:
- STM32F405 Express Feather
- 128x64 OLED FeatherWing
- Ultimate GPS FeatherWing
- FeatherWing Tripler
Everything works as expected, after getting a GPS fix, I can read and display position/speed/etc. However, the battery never charges when the USB is connected. The charging LED (next to the USB connector) is always off. A couple of days ago, I saw it light up but it was VERY dim (barely visible). I suspect a problem with the charging circuit on the STM32 feather. I've tried to remove the STM32 feather from the tripler and ONLY connect it to the USB-C and battery. No difference (i.e. no LED, no charging).
The pictures show the setup with and without the battery. The OLED displays the result of the "get_voltage()" function and correctly reports the battery voltage when it is connected (verified independently w/ multimeter).
Any ideas of other things I can try to confirm or rule out a defective charging circuit?
Thanks
