Hi guys, I have uploaded the program below on to a Arduino Uno and it works fine, however, I have uploaded the same program to an Arduino Nano 3.0 Atmel ATmega328 Mini and although it works initially whenever the button is pressed, if left standing for minutes or so it stops working. If the button i…

That's not the way to attach your code. In the Arduino IDE, press CTRL Shift C, then paste the copied sketch to a post.

it might be that your LEDs pull too much current out of the board which makes the voltage-regulator go into thermal shut-down additionally there is no second loop int switchpin = 11; // pin 11 connected to switch int timer = 2000; // The higher the number, the slower the timing. int timer2 = …

Hi StefanL38. Thanks for your input. I dont need a second loop as I have the button press to repeat the first loop as necessary. I dont think it will be pulling too much current because if I keep pressing the button at the end of the loop it will repeat the loop as many times as I want. It is only …

Hi Tom, circuit diag as requested. Hope this helps Thanks [7LED wiring diag]

Hi, Thanks for the schematic. Can you place in your code the "Blink without delay" example code to make the onboard LED flash. That way we can see if you have a code stops. Do you have a DMM. When it faults measure the 5V pin of the Nano before you reset it. This will check if you have a seriou…

Thanks again Tom. I connected a 9v battery to VIN and all is good now. I think the USB from computor was not good enough. Thanks for your help

Thanks to everybody that helped. I have now solved the problem by using a 9V battery connected to VIN which was my intent anyway.
