Redox W Receiver Shows No Status Lights #94

Copied from the original issue:

I'm having an issue with the receiver: I can program it by header, but when I connect it to the Arduino Pro Micro, no lights appear. I've assembled several units at this point, since I ordered some redundant parts, and they all have the same behavior. If pin validated the continuity (testing for shorts as well) but the lights still do not turn on.

I record a voltage drop over the LED/resistor as well, so it seems odd that nothing is visible. Do you have any thoughts?

I've confirmed with Falba that their PCB's are behaving correctly. The above pictures are of one of the assembled boards.

Testing the voltage on my pins, it's becoming clear that none of them are reaching a sufficient low for current to pass. They seem to be floating. It's possible that the arduinos are no good. At least one of the ones I was testing with turned out to be the 3.3V Pro Micro. Using a 5V micro does not solve this problem, but I notice that all 4 pins are sitting fairly high. If I ground any one of them, the respective light turns on.

I think I've confirmed that the problem is on the Arduino/QMK side of things. It's an arduino micro clone, but it's still using an Mega32U4-MU. Arduino IDE identifies it as a leondardo, which I understand is fairly common for micro clones.

Closed as duplicate of #93 . Please continue on the original issue.

FYI you should have the permission to re-open an issue if it isn't solved.
