Hi, very new to Arduino and trying to get my feet wet with the samples.
I was able to get Project 03 Love Meter working fine as long as the board is connected to my computer, but as soon as I unhook it and plug in the battery the program doesn't work.
Is it designed to only work while connected via USB? I commented out the Serial. commands thinking that might help but it did not.
Do certain projects only work while connect to usb?
Sorry for the delay. I had expected to get an email notification if someone replied.
I have a 9 volt connected to it using the adapter on the board. The blink sketch works, I also did the first 2 projects that work when not connected via USB.
I cannot see a reason why this project would not work without USB. Did you measure the operating voltage, when connected to your battery, or tried a fresh battery?
I have not. It couldn't hurt though. I assumed that since other projects worked this one would as well. I'll measure the voltage and try a new battery and see what that does.
