To see if Arduino is working correctly connect it to your PC/ Laptop using a blue USB type B cable without having anything connected to the motherboard. If the Arduino board turns on this means it's working.

If there is no red light visible, it means the Arduino is broken and should be replaced with a new component.

When you connect it to the battery pack, and the Arduino is not working- replace the battery.

Someone might accidentally press the "RESET" button. In this case, the code should be uploaded onto Arduino again.

Please disconnect all the modules before uploading the code.

See how to upload the code in the section below.

Error message "No such file or directory" when uploading the code.

Download the zipped folder from the top of this web page. After downloading, move the unzipped folder into Documents -> Arduino.

Arduino software error "Problem uploading to board."

Before pressing the "upload" button, you need to choose your port.

Go into Tools -> Port -> Choose your Arduino Uno device

Neopixel is not working

Please double-check the connection of the neopixel.

After checking, please press the "level" button a few times, before the neopixel is activated.

Check if the wires are soldered to the pixel.

If not, replace the component.
