Dasduino Core CHRG LED blinking continuously

Customer:

I purchased a Dasduino Core and it worked fine until today when I connected it to my PC. The CHRG LED on the board is blinking continuously. I’m not sure what this means - is there a fault?

Lijep pozdrav, kupio sam dasduino core s vaše stranice i sve je lijepo radilo do danas kada sam spojio pločicu sa pc-em na dasduino pločici je samo blinkala CHRG ledica, nije mi jasno što je to, je li nekakav kvar?

Soldered Support:

This is not a fault. The CHRG LED blinks because no battery is connected to it - this is normal behavior. Once you connect a battery, it will light continuously until the battery is fully charged. If Dasduino functions without any problems otherwise, everything is fine regardless of that LED.

Nije kvar, ta ledica blinka zato jer na nju nije spojena baterija, to je normalno. Kada spojite bateriju na nju, ona će svijetliti stalno dok se baterija ne napuni.
Ako Dasduino funkcionira bez ikakvih problema onda je sve u redu bez obzira na tu ledicu.

Customer:

But the LED that normally lights when the board is powered is not lighting.

Ali mi ledica koja je svijetlila inače kada se ploča spoji na napajanje ne svijetli.

Soldered Support:

Is the Dasduino functioning at all? When you upload a sketch, does it upload successfully and does the sketch do what it should?

Original message (Croatian)

Radi li onda Dasduino ili uopće nije u funkciji? Kada stavite neki sketch, uploada li se, radi li sketch to što treba raditi?

Customer:

Yes, when I upload a simple sketch for basic tasks it works. However, the program I wrote for remote Bluetooth control receives all inputs on the serial monitor but the motor control functions don’t execute.

Original message (Croatian)

Da kada uploadam normalan sketch za neke jednostavne radnje, ali pisan program vezano za daljinsko bluetooth upravljanje prima sve inpute na serial monitoru ali se ne izvršavaju funkcije upravljanja motora npr.

Soldered Support:

Are you still talking about the same Dasduino Core? It doesn’t have built-in Bluetooth functionality.

Original message (Croatian)

Govorite li i dalje o tom istom Dasduinu Core, on nema funkciju Bluetootha?

Customer:

I connected a Bluetooth module to the board on the Tx and Rx pins. The serial monitor displays the values but the program doesn’t execute.

Original message (Croatian)

Spojim bluetooth modul na ploču na Tx i Rx pinove, serial monitor ispisuje vrijednosti ali se program ne izvršava.

Soldered Support:

If it’s displaying what you’re sending, the module is very likely working. There’s a good chance the error is in the code. Normally troubleshooting this type of issue is beyond this support scope, but this time you can send the code and how it’s connected, and I can give you some suggestions and advice. It’s hard to know what’s happening without more details - please provide as much information as possible.

Original message (Croatian)

Ako ispisuje ono što pošaljete onda modul vrlo vjerojatno radi. Postoji velika mogućnost da je greška u kodu. Inače rješavanje takvih problema nadilazi ovaj support, ali ovog puta možete poslati kod i kako je spojeno pa Vam mogu dati koji prijedlog i savjet. Ovako je teško zamisliti što i kako radite, dajte mi što više informacija o svemu.
