Even when uploading the example Blink sketch, the LEDs do not blink. It's almost like it is in a sleep state.
I did solder 2 wires for an external LiPo battery onto the GRND and VBAT pins of one of the boards (picture attached
-
The LED light is not turning on/blinking at all, but IDE is recognizing the boards via the USB port so it seems they are functional but maybe I’m missing a step -
LED did blink the first time plugging it in, but not anymore -
I did successfully upload the sketch to 1 of the boards before soldering on two wires (picture attached) that I use to connect to a small LiPo battery, but ever since soldering I cannot upload anything to the new boards due to the error described above. -
I don’t believe I bricked the unit(s) because they are still recognized as the board selected via USB port in Arduino creator when I plug it in…
I have no idea what is going on so any guidance is MUCH appreciated!
