Ok I am a total novice, so have no experience but wanted to try something new. Purchased a 20M controller on a DIY project board kit decided to make a series of flashing LEDs fed through the Darlington driver.
Downloaded the flowchart software and installed the USB serial cable generated a small program and down loaded to the chip which indicated had completed successfully.
Disconnected and plugged back into the battery but nothing.
Reconnected the serial and ran the chip using the simulator and got my flashing lights so all good when connected to the computer.
Downloaded program again and still the same issue.
I am using 3 x AA batteries, (new) and running the Darlington through the same power but nothing works unless it's plugged into the PC.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
