Aha!! When all else fails (where have i heard that before..?),
read the instructions (so far, so OK)..
..from the beginning!!
As in Start at the first page (duh!)!
On the first & subsequent pages were instructions for connecting the Battery Pack.
And YES, there was a detachable lid covering the opening for the battery pack.
I plugged it in..
..didn't follow the instructions carefully enough..
..wondered why certain components wouldn't fit back together again..
..took it apart..
..seated the battery pack properly this time..
..reassembled it &..
..Bob's Yer Auntie!!
It didn't do anything to begin with, then suddenly came right, took it into its tiny little brain to switch on, & now all i have to do is work out how to program it!!
YAY!!
Got "Mr General" too!
ReplyDeleteShould be fun. And 140 wire connectors in 5 different colours..
Plonk the Arduino board on it, & start making it do things
(after i've assembled it of course - ahem!!)
