My ItsyBitsy nRF52840 Express won't turn on

Post by Wildforce1 »

When I first got the board it turned on when plugged into my computer but as soon as I connected lights to it, it has stopped working. I have plugged in my itsybitsy into my computer and it has said that it doesn't have enough power to turn the board on so I plugged it into a regular outlet and the board still won't turn on. Does anyone know what could have happened

Won't let me attach images for some reason but here's a link for it

Can you try to disconnect everything and see if it helps? Just what are you connecting it to and what was the exact message you received?

Sorry for the late response but I am trying to connect the board to some LED lights
The exact message I get is 'power surge on the USB port. Unknown USB device needs more power than the port can supply"

The led lights I used: https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING-WS2 ... B01CDTEJR0

Have you tried it without the lights?
