Here some tips that may helps you:

  • Tell us what product it is (product code), what order and when you purchased it.
  • Send a clear, detailed photo of the board (front/back) as well as the connections.
  • For software errors, please send a copy of the error message.Please use the [code] tag when posting code and/or error messages.
  • If you have a problem with an Arduino sketch or MicroPython then copy the source code (or send a link to the code).
    Again, used the [code] tag to distinguish source code from text.
  • If you complete a project following an MCHobby tutorial/wiki, please post the link to the page in question.
  • Consider creating a new topic, additional questions on old topics may go unnoticed. If you see similar threads (or the same problem), do not hesitate to send a link to them.
