Hello friends. I have trouble with my arduinoboy. I soldered 1 piece and when I turn it on it always change mode. Leds changed and I don't understand what is going on. I solder this kit https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjk89h42zmusw … s.pdf?dl=0
Button contacts not connected I checked. May be something soldered togeather, but don't understand what.
And one strange thing: I cheked 2 k'ohm resitor (button resistor), when it soldered in the device tester show 1.06 k.om

Is your switch NC or NO?

Try a 4.7k to 10k resistor.

My switch is NO. I mean that buton not soldered, I pull out it, and there are no contact between PB1 and PB2.
10k to the 4.7k place? strange but I'll try.

No, use a resistor between 4.7k and 10k instead of the 2k ohm resistor.

No, resistor between 4.7k and 10k not help!(

I builded the same arduinoboy kit, I just followed the video instructions and it worked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13adGnZoC9E Sorry for my bad English

Use a multimeter and make sure nothing is bridging those pins/pads.

I can't see a resistor on that schematic that goes from the button to ground... It is on the original one tho. You need one or else pin 5 will think it's still connected.

Hello,

I don't know if i should make a new thread or reuse this one. I also have trouble making an arduinoboy. Actually, everything seems to work, but neither LSDJ nor mGB seem to receive data.
I've made a little video of my current setup:
