Help debugging Rainbow Cube kit + Rainbowduino

Products & Technology Arduino & Seeeduino
#1

I got a kit that included the Rainboduino, the LED kit, and the acrylic enclosure from Massdrop.

I’ve finished soldering everything together and I seem to have messed up somewhere.

This is what it looks like with the setPixelZXY demo that sets layer 0 green and layer 3 blue:

It’s hard to tell, but the top two layers aren’t lighting up at all, and the bottom two rows are lit up like so:


Bottom Layer
          ____________________________
          | Pink  | Red | Pink | Red |
USB>      | Blue  | Red | Blue | Red |
          | Blue  | Red | Blue | Red |
          | Blue  | Red | Blue | Red |

Second Layer
          ____________________________
          | Blue  | Red | Blue | Red |
USB>      | Blue  | Red | Pink | Red |
          | Blue  | Red | Blue | Red |
          | Blue  | Red | Blue | Red |

I’m going to poke around with a voltmeter tomorrow, but if there is anything specific I should be looking out for it’d be awesome to know about it.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Please check the jumper pad connections as shown in the instructions pdf.The change in the color must be due to change in the LED polarity please check them too.

Thanks for writing to us.
