Troubleshooting Tips:
- Is your power source plugged in?
- Did you choose the right board and serial port in the "Tools" menu?
- Go back through your wiring.
- Confirm that your wiring pins match your pin assignments in your programming.
- Print values to the serial port to see what a sensor is reading or where your code is going after a certain step.
- Use the logic probe to see if your I/O pins are reading the correct values at the correct times.
- Use a multimeter to check for proper voltages, resistances, and currents.
